Priceline Hotel: Bidding Help for Hilton Del Mar 3.5*

[bustamonte]

New to Price Line and Hotwire. Need to find a reasonable price 3.5+ star hotel, my preference is not to be in the heart of San Diego. Mission Valley, Del Mar and La Jolla seem the best locations for my stay.

The Hilton Del Mar would be our first preference.

Thanks for the help!!

We are going to stay the 26th - 28th of March, and actually we would stay at any hotel in San Diego area or San Diego Coastal with the best available price for 3.5+ stars and above.

Are you willing to pay more to be in a zone higher up on your preference list than one lower down the list which may be less expensive... OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better in any of the above zones?

So we don't suggest a strategy which goes higher than you're willing to pay, what is your maximum bid for this stay?

Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy based upon your preferences.

In your first post you said you DON'T want to be Downtown.

my preference is not to be in the heart of San Diego.

Now you're saying Downtown is your first choice.

Thanks, here is the order that we would prefer

Zone 3 Downtown San Diego & Harbor Island

Zone 14 San Diego Coastal

Zone 2 Del Mar - Rancho Santa Fe

Zone 9 Mission Valley

It's fine if you've changed your mind about Downtown but as your posts contradict each other can you clarify whether the Downtown-Harbor Island zone is acceptable or not?

With your response to that question and your bidding limit someone can provide a strategy. If you want a suggestion for a bidding limit I'll suggest $65, but please affirm if you want $65 or some other number. We'll start bidding low and work up to your stated limit.
