MirandaG Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 I am a student and don't have much budget for the trip to CA. I need help on how to bid a hotel in San Diego for ~$30. And I have a rental car so I hope parking is free.Suggestions wanted! I hope the hotel is 2.5* or plus.Thanks!
thereuare Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!Not sure if you're going to be able to find something within your budget, but for starters... which zone(s) of San Diego are you looking to stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

MirandaG Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Posted March 10, 2010 I am not quite familiar with San Diego. I think I just hope they have free parking. I will be going to Sea World but I dont care if the hotel is far from there.Which zone is the cheapest and hopefully...safe?
Colfax Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 There are motels with free parking near SeaWorld, but I'm not sure about ~$30.Rates vary by date. What are your travel dates?Is one bed enough?
MirandaG Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Posted March 11, 2010 yea one bed is enough~travelling dates are 3/18-3/21thank you very much, i'd like to bid it pretty soon
Colfax Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 One possibility: the Goodnite Inn-Seaworld is $36 on the hotel's website, parking included.www.goodniteinn.comI can't vouch for the hotel but you can read the reviews at TripAdvisor and see if you think it will work for you. Goodnite Inn's total cost with taxes for three nights is $108. A $29 bid on Priceline will cost $106.32 after Priceline fee, and that's not guaranteed to have free parking. At this price point I think free parking is likely but it's not guaranteed.If you still want to try Priceline I'll suggest bidding $25 for a 2* in Point Loma-Shelter Island-Old Town and Mission Valley zones.If rejected try $25 for a 1* in the same two zones. Please use this PRICELINE link if you go that route, or let us know what you decide. Good luck!
MirandaG Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Posted March 13, 2010 I finally bid today and succeed in getting Kings Inn for $25 per night, including taxes and fees for a total of $92 for 3 nights!Thanks betterbidding!
AaronJB Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Congratulations on your success. :)Pretty terrific deal, at more than half off the price showing on Expedia.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
Colfax Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Sweet deal for $25.King's Inn has free parking, and breakfast and internet are included too!Since $25 was your first bid I wonder if something lower would have worked?
