Jacko Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 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 ... :) Regards, Jacko, The Netherlands Please use HOTWIRE and thse PRICELINKS HOTELS , CAR RENTALS and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

thereuare Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 HOTWIRE has a 3* for $133/nite which is a match for the Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay... would this be a better/worse option than your Super 8 back-up?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

How do you want to proceed?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.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..)

thereuare Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 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?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Jacko Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 We decided to book the Holiday Inn at Seaside direct. (of course used the support page links at betterbidding.com). It was just passing thru (making a 18 day road trip) Regards, Jacko, The Netherlands Please use HOTWIRE and thse PRICELINKS HOTELS , CAR RENTALS and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
