davdaven Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 The Knott's Web site lists the night's stay for $89. I attempted to book a 3* hotel in Buena Park using PRICELINE but was unsuccessful. I switched to HOTWIRE because the $49 rate was only $4 more than what I was willing to bid on Priceline.Hotel amenities: Fitness Center, Pool(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access, Golf Nearby.Knott's charges $10 for parking. Most other area hotels offer free parking. I took this into consideration when bidding.Priceline bidding history:Yesterday - Bid $40 for 3* in Buena Park only, no win or counter offer. Added Laguna Beach (no 3* or higher in LB) and raised bid to $42. No win or counter offer.Today - Bid $40 for 3* in Buena Park only, no win or counter offer. Added Laguna Beach and raised bid to $43. No win or counter offer. Was going to add Huntington Beach and raise bid to $45, but decided to go with $49 rate on Hotwire.Hotwire rate has been fluctuating between $49 and $53 for the past three days. There was no 3* listing on Monday, when I first checked.I used the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to book this hotel. Thanks again! Link to comment

davdaven Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Knott's charges $10 for parking. Most other area hotels offer free parking. I took this into consideration when bidding.My October stay went well although the hotel is getting quite dated. However, parking is now $12, not $10. Starting to get a bit high for the area! Definitely factor the $12 parking fee into any Hotwire, Priceline, or other special that may result in a Knott's reservation. Link to comment
