I am looking for a hotel in in the Monterey Area (date : 9/5 -9/6 .. Labour day weekend).

What will be the best bidding strategy to get a 2.5* (and up).

The budget is $125.10 (excl. tax).. That is what I am now paying for the Baymont Inn (Super 8), already booked this hotel so when priceline fails we can sleep :) If we get a priceline hotel we cancel this reservation.

I know it will be hard to get a hotel through priceline (labour day weekend).. Even a Motel6 is $125,- per night ... :)

Just found a 3* hotel ($133,-) date 9/5 - 9/6

With the following (in this order):

Complimentary Breakfast ,Fitness Center ,Pool(s) ,Business Center,Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access

I think its this one :

3* Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay (Seaside)

Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry

Look at the HolidayInn site and the seaside hotel costs $150,- (advanced purchase).

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread...

Does this Holiday Inn Express work better/worse for your plans? How do you want to proceed?

We decided to go for the Hotwire (Holiday Inn Express), but Hotwire charges $35,- (taxes and recovery fee) making it even expensier than booking direct by Holiday Inn. This was over our budget.

We are now thinking of taking the Holiday Inn Express in Marina (using your link) and cancelling the Super 8 (is has very bad reviews ..)

Do you think there is change of getting a good hotel for a good price in the monterey area around labour day. (I already checked some the major hotel sites and several hotels in the area have NO Vacancy anymore..)

Part of your issue may be that you're looking for a sole Saturday nite of a holiday weekend, which some hotels may put a 2 (or 3) nite minimum requirement since once the room is rented for this Saturday nite, it will be come harder to rent the other nites since most guests will likely be looking to book the entire holiday weekend.

Since this is a one nite stay, what is the purpose... is this a 2 day getaway or are you just passing thru?
