Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* Orange County (Anaheim-Disneyland South) Ramada Covention Center

[Lollipop's Mom]

I have tried all sorts of combos over the past 3 days, going down to a 2*.

I have $10 bonus cash and have gone up to $32 plus $10 for garden grove. ($42 usually seems to get the crowne plaza)

No go on that.

I have done up to about a total of $38 with my bonus cash on a 2* in the main disneyland area.

Just reporting in in case others were aftern these days.

I am not in a big hurry, I can keep trying.

Thank you for posting your bidding history and please use the site's PRICELINE links to start your bidding. Best of luck with your continued bidding and let us know if you have any questions.

To try and get Crowne Plaza select 3.5 star under the area Garden Grove and then also use the areas that are selectable that do not have 3.5 star in the area and this will let you have more than bid per night. Also, noticed that the regular Priceline Crowne Plaza rates are more for the saturday ($152) compared to the other days on your trip, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday ($97). This will affect your bidding price because they will be asking more for the saturday that the rest, but because they are all grouped together in the same will only accept a bid high enough to cover the more expensive night, they do not use an average. If you break the saturday away from the other days you will modt likely get the other days cheaper, probably not $42 dollars but definately cheaper than the bid price for a night that is regularly $152. When I got the Crowne Plaza for $42, the regular rate for all nights was $82, so now that the regular price for those days is $97, might be a tad more.

Yes, I have tried all of those things. I tried just bidding for the 15-17th and nothing.

I tried the 3star garden grove up to $45 and nothing...that saturday night is killing me, and I can't change dates.

There is a 2.5 on hotwire that is either the HI express or the ramada, but that ramada has bad reviews on tripadvisor.

FYI still having trouble on this one. Gone up to $43 plus $10 bonus cash for 3* in disneyland and disneyland garden grove areas (adding in laguna beach for free re-bid).

I ended up just buying on hotwire. A good deal came up of $35 2.5* Disney South. Breakfast, Fitness, Laundry, Intenet - was the Ramada at the Convention Center. I knew this would be the hotel. Reviews are iffy, but its cheap and we don't plan to be there much. Also it happens to be across the street from the Budget rental car place I have a car reserved at for 2 days, which will make that easy. It seems to be clean enough, just some parking issues, etc... and since I am renting the car across the street, maybe they will let me park there if I need to.

Yes there was a pool icon. Forgot to list it.

Also, the whole time I tried for PRICELINE and HOTWIRE I kept using your links. I would just check HOTWIRE here and there, and then planned to go use your link to buy if I decided to, and then this came up at $35 and then my phone rang, I got off the phone and decided to buy it, and literally 2 seconds after I hit buy my room, I realized I didn't use your link. I am soooo sorry. I really appreciate this site and it was a case of me trying to do 2 or 3 things at once. I hadn't seen it come up under 42 bucks, and wanted to grab it.

I am still a bit iffy on this hotel, but hoping it is better than the reviews. I figure if it is really bad, hotwire will be getting a phone call from me.
