junky Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Used rebid zone method and tried for SD downtown 4* (long shot for Grand Manchester Hyatt) all the way from 45 to 75 no dice, split the days to the ones shown above and got this chunk for $75 a nite + $29 in total fees/taxes.Total out of pocket $178.24 for 2 nights.Hotel website lists 145/nite + fees/taxes.Definitely used PRICELINE link in these parts to do the bidding.Thank you, thereuare, for this message board. I am saving 40% on lodging costs. This will be my 2nd trip to southern cal this quarter!!!!! Have to bid on at least 2 more travel days, will report back as soon as.

elliot04 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 Hey Junky & Thereuare,I also rebid after 24 hours and got Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines for $78/night for 2 nights: 12/26-28. I am trying to get 3 more rooms for the same nights, same hotel, as our family is traveling together. I've had no luck the past few days putting in the same characteristics (San Diego Coastal area, 4*) on PRICELINE. Any suggestions?

junky Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Posted November 28, 2008 It's automatic once you post your results to the board (assuming you use the correct format... otherwise it'll appear once we edit the topic title to the correct format)I found out there is a mandatory overnite parking fee of $20 per night, and possibly a guest fee of $20 per child under a certain age. Can anyone confirm this? I have come to understand that 4*-5* hotel/resorts ding you to death on little fees on everything, ie internet access, gym, pool, parking.Am going to investigate street parking to get around the parking fee.....
thereuare Posted November 28, 2008 Report Posted November 28, 2008 I found out there is a mandatory overnite parking fee of $20 per night...This is a parking fee which only applies to those who have a car (to save the inevitable question from a future user who will ask if they will be charged if they don't bring a car)...and possibly a guest fee of $20 per child under a certain age. Can anyone confirm this?Your PRICELINE winning bid only guarantees double occupancy, after that, accomodating your needs for more than double occupancy is at the discretion of the hotel.
