alanalee Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Looking to book a 4* resort oceanfront yet have ZERO experience with HOTWIRE or PRICELINE. I'd love Paradise Point resort, and Hilton oceanfront resort, something in LaJolla and my budget is open, but just want a great deal! Any advuce would be appreciated since this is new to me and seems like such a risk, yet possibly a risk well worth it...any advie would be so greatly appreciated!

Colfax Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding, alanalee.The Paradise Point and Hilton have both been reported on HOTWIRE before, but what are your travel dates? I can't check availability without knowing dates.How many adults and children in your party?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links for your purchases.
Colfax Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Check the HOTWIRE Hotel List for San Diego to see the most recently reported icon sets for the Hilton Mission Bay and Paradise Point. They're both in the SeaWorld-Mission Bay-Shelter Island zone.Then plug in dates on HOTWIRE to see if you can find a match for those icons.Icons can change at any time. If you find something that's close to what's in the Hotel List, but not a perfect match, then post the icons you see here and someone will try to ID to the hotel.Keep in mind that searching on Hotwire's default option---2 adults/0 children---only guarantees a room with 1 bed. If you need 2 beds you should search on 3 adults or 2 adults/1 child.Hotwire Hotel List-California
Colfax Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 It's impossible to ID hotels without knowing the dates you searched, alanalee. A moderator will merge this with your other San Diego thread. Please keep all posts regarding this stay in one thread.
alanalee Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Posted June 14, 2009 Ooops, sorry about that. Here we go...June 23rd-June 26th 3.5* Mission Beach Shelter Island $89/nightResortBeachfrontFitness centerPool/sInternetGolfTennisAnd is it possible to get upgraded if you use HOTWIRE?Thanks for all your help!

alanalee Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Posted June 14, 2009 Went ahead and booked it (via the HOTWIRE link above of course)...turns out I got Paradise Cove Resort...$89.00 a night. I've read mixed reviews, but this was a place I wanted to stay at since it sounds quite family friendly and I think the price is amazing compared to what the site advertises! Spoke to reservations today and it looks like I should easily be able to upgrade to a bayview for an additional charge, but I just want to thank you for all the help...I would never have known where o begin without this site...you really helped me identify what I wanted and take a risk that resulted in significant savings! I've already reccomended this site to friends!
thereuare Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Congratulations on your success!I got Paradise Cove Resort...Is this the same as the Paradise Point Resort and Spa?? If not, can you provide the address of the hotel you received.Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're happy with the results. We're pleased to know that you found the information here helpful with your purchase.Can you please add a reply to this thread confirming the amenities shown before your purchase as i don't think the original list above was complete (for instance... no Restaurant icons??). You can still view the complete list of amenities associated with this property by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.Thank you for sharing your results with the board and using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Enjoy your stay.
