meggieprice Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I am headed to San Diego for three nights April 12th - 15th. I am usually an avide HOTWIRE girl but as we don't absolutely care which hotel I thought Priceline might offer a lower cost. We want a four star hotel in the downtown area. We will pay up to $90 -but would prefer to pay less of course -can pay $94 on Hotwire for a four star in the Harbor Island area. It looked to me as if there are not 4 star hotels in lots of the areas so we could get the Harbor area and some re-bids.If I have left anything out let me know! Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 At the 4* level you have 12 re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $88, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

meggieprice Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thank you! Followed to the letter and got my hit at $88 a night- SheratonSan Diego Hotel and Marina. Rather than starting another thread can you change my title to reflect this?I was a little nervous about this one....but basically pleased with the result though I noticed they have a very expensive rate for parking a car.I used your PRICELINE link.

AaronJB Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Thank you for sharing your results with board. Very nice price for these dates.Parking is expensive in major cities. You would more than likely encounter a similar parking price at any of the downtown San Diego properties. Thank you also for using the PRICELINE link - doing so is greatly appreciated.Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
meggieprice Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I of course should have thought before expressing my thoughts about that- I am fighting a bad cold today and grumpy lol. We got a fabulous deal.I love this place- and I am hoping to be a worthy student- I was proud at seeing that San Diego would be a good Priceline candidate with its few 4 star areas. ALso I saw some great reviews about the hotel and will call ahead and request the newer tower.Bless you for having this board.Now to look for the following two nights in LA! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hope you feel better soon! :)If you do call ahead, I would sign up for Starwood Preferred Guest (free at SPG.com) first. That isn't supposed to help when it comes to PRICELINE reservations, but it also doesn't hurt to have. Link to comment
meggieprice Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks for the tip! Link to comment
meggieprice Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks for the tip!I got my requested room by phone today and also a Priceline name your own price for car rental while there- mid size for $26.00 a day from Budget. Even AAA had this at $45. SO with our $49 airfare, our $88 room, and $26 car- wow! SAVED A LOT. Link to comment
