Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Orange County (Disneyland-Orange-Garden Grove) Crowne Plaza

[herren911]

Started with PRICELINE link on Better Bidding...

Selected this area instead of Disneyland-Anaheim with a couple of hotels in mind because of parking/resort fees. It looked like $39 was the low end, so that's where I started my bidding thinking I would go into the mid-40's with rebids if necessary because I wanted 5 nights Thanksgiving week. However, my first bid of $39 was accepted.

The Crowne Plaza has a $12/day resort fee that covers self parking, shuttle to Disneyland, and internet access, so not a bad deal. Some area hotels charge $15/day just for parking and internet access was something we really wanted.

Offer: $39

1 room

5 nights

Subtotal: $195

Taxes: $33.85

Total: $228.85

Total with resort fee: $288.85

Advertised rate on hotel website was around $89/night plus resort fee.

Since we've completed this trip, I'll add that the accommodations were very good for this price. Self parking is not very convenient as noted on some review websites (shared with neighboring hotels in the back....bit of a walk), but if you're taking the shuttle to Disney then not a big deal at all.
