GM Mike Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Looking for 6/19-6/21 (Friday/Saturday) in downtown San Diego. Bid up to $59 in Downtown and Coronado zones, 3*. At $56, $57, $59 I got counteroffers to raise by $17 but rejected them. At that point, I was out of rebids.Then bid only Saturday and got upgraded to:Sheraton Suites San Diego Downtown San Diego & Harbor Island701 A St San Diego, California 92101 619-696-9800Check-In Date:Fri, Jun 19, 2009 / After 04:00 PMCheck-Out Date:Sat, Jun 20, 2009 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $52.00 Subtotal: $52.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $14.20 Total Charges*: $66.20 Bidding in $1 increments, I had been offered counteroffers at $45 (+$13), $47 (+$13), $50 (+$14). Then bid $51 right before $52, so this was the lowest possible price. Based on the counteroffers, I thought I might be bidding on the Holiday Inn Downtown (which I wanted)... but I'm sure this place will be fine.Best available rate on website was $165, AAA was $140.25, savings of about 63%. I then used the extend option to attempt to secure the next night at the same price ($52).It gave me a counteroffer of $79. Never seen that before. So rather than risk bidding on Saturday alone and receiving a different hotel, I took the $79 offer. Will post that in its own thread.Used the board's PRICELINE link.

Colfax Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 $52 for a suite Downtown is terrific, especially in summer. Thanks for posting this deal, GM Mike.
