Hi all,

Put in a bid yesterday for 3* hotel in Monterey for 5/16-5/17 and got Marriott.

Originally we wanted to stay 2 nights but could not get anything. Not even a 2.5 stars !!

Decided to stay one day instead and $56 was my first bid. I am very happy about this price but wondering if I could have started lower.

To be honest, I was not very confident about what I was doing but got lucky.

Your Offer Price: $56.00

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Subtotal: $56.00

Taxes and

Service Fees: $12.00

Since your trip is such a short time away, you probably didn't want to start with a low bid anyway. So I think this is great.

If you do decide that you want to add an extra night at the end of your stay, you can try to do that with Priceline. I've never done it, but I know the instructions are on Priceline's site. Sometimes you can succeed, and sometimes not.
