Priceline Hotel: Bidding Help for Monterey Area 3-12 to 3-16

[mtncwru]

I'm new to Priceline, looking to stay in the Monterey-Carmel area from 3/12 to 3/16. Ideally I'd like a 3-star or better. Any thoughts on starting price and bidding strategy? Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

What would be your desired budget per night?

I'd like to keep it around $70-80 per night, but definitely under $100. And I noticed the links in the intro guide :) Thanks!

Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?

Also, to clarify the zone(s) you're willing to accept... are both (Carmel - Carmel Valley) and (Monterey) acceptable?

Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.

Thanks in advance for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your purchases.

The goal for me is the least expensive 3* hotel I can get. I'd like to stay in (Carmel-Carmel Valley) rather than Monterey proper. Thanks!
