wongri Posted November 22, 2012 #1376 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hello all, Our group of 8 adults requires hotel in San Diego May 6 - 8, 2013 after our cruise on Celebrity Solstice. Any thoughts on when I should start bidding on priceline/hotwire and what areas I should focus on for a 3 star and above hotel in a central location for shopping and to walk around? It has been 20+ years since my last visit to San Diego. Any suggestions and tips would be grealy appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkwayne Posted December 18, 2012 #1380 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I am looking for a room on Feb 1,2013. Is the Crowne Plaza the 3 1/2 star hotel that Priceline wont divulge the name of? I havent found a rate near 63. Edited December 18, 2012 by wkwayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMRick Posted December 21, 2012 #1384 Share Posted December 21, 2012 That's the best I've ever seen. They never did come down for my dates, so I bid $71 and got the Doubletree. (plus taxes). I did call them the day I bid and they told me they were pretty full for New Years Eve, so I did put in a higher bid than I wanted to. Worth the extra 15 to finally put that behind me. Good bidding..congrats!

Good bidding..congrats! To be honest with you, I nearly fell out of my chair when the bid was accepted (last year I had to bid up to $65 before I got the Crowne Plaza). I re-read it 3 times and then went online to my bank's web site to check the credit card postings. Sure enough, the Priceline posting was there. It just goes to show that things like this do happen. Maybe the hotel folks were really in the holiday spirit -- or possibly full of some holiday spirits --yesterday afternoon :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been 20+ years since my last visit to San Diego. Any suggestions and tips would be grealy appreciated. Thank you! We're wondering the same thing but for April 2nd. We're hoping to get the Sheraton Marina at Harbor Island near the airport or the Holiday Inn across from the San Diego terminal. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourDeCruise Posted December 23, 2012 #1387 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Dh just booked the Holiday Inn on the Bay in San Diego via Priceline for April 2, 2013. He bid $70 for a 3 star hotel in the Harbor Island area for April 2nd with the result of Holiday Inn on the Bay across from the cruise terminal. He had tried 4* for $95 with no luck hoping to get the Sheraton Marina at Harbor Island. We have stayed at both hotels in the past (1x Holiday Inn on the Bay, 2x Sheraton Marina). If we are recalling correctly, we paid around $100 for last April via Priceline for the Sheraton Marina and around $118 or a little more including the taxes. We were torn between which hotel we were hoping to get as the Holiday Inn on the Bay is closer to the cruise terminal and has a nice breakfast buffet and the Sheraton is a nicer hotel with a great fitness center and a Starbucks. Today's bid resulted in the following: Date: April 2, 2013 Number of nights: 1 (pre cruise) Hotel: Holiday Inn on the Bay Rating: 3 star Area: Harbor Island Site: Priceline Winning Bid: $70 Taxes & Service Fees: $16.62 Total Price: $86.62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolladice Posted February 13, 2013 #1398 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Been bidding every day for a hotel in San Pedro for April 5, 2013. Priceline had a special of adding $5.00 to your bid. Bid up to 70.00 for San Pedro, added Long Beach for $72.00 and won bid for Hotel Maya. Looks like nice hotel. Really wanted to be in San Pedro but took my chances so will make the best of it.
