San Diego hotel question
 
Looking for San Diego hotel recommendations in the Gaslight District near Petco Park, Little Italy or Old Town that are within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Thank you.

What price per night ?

As I listed on your other thread, I really like Solamar

Courtyard, Omni are right there too.

Would like price per night of $200 or less

DebitNM Jan 15th, 2015 07:49 PM

What time of year?

We had a nice stay at La Pensione in the Little Italy area last year. We also stayed in the Gaslamp area at the Horton Grand Hotel, which was fine but we liked the other much better.

DebitNM--stay planned early March this year.

Sorry, I should have asked all Q's at once. Weekend or mid week? Will you need to park a car, which is expensive?

DebitNM Jan 16th, 2015 08:55 AM

Prices look high, I checked using mid month dates and did both mid week and weekend.

IF you are willing to take a chance, Hotwire has some good deals on hotels that will keep you below $200, even if you have to pay extra for parking. Not sure if you have used Hotwire, but using their secret hot rates, you don't know which hotel until AFTER you pay and there are no refunds. There are websites that can "help" narrow down which hotel it "might" be, but no guarantees.


With a $200 per night budget, I would go with hotwire, personally.

DebitNM--plan to stay for 1 week; will not be parking a car

DebitNM Jan 16th, 2015 09:21 AM

OK. Again, I would use Hotwire. You can use a site like Tripadvisor.com or himunk.com to put in your dates, indicate Gas Lamp area and see what comes up.

The places I suggested wont be under $200 a night [assuming that is before tax which can tack on another 10 or 12%] but they "may" be on Hotwire.

DebitNM - true, those "reveal" sites get shut down often by threats of legal action. HotwireRevealed is one such, and I think HotelDealsRevealed had to disable that feature as well.

FWIW, another one I just came across and plan to try out for an upcoming trip is BidGoggles - http://bidgoggles.com/

Of course, it's not a sure thing, but maybe worth looking at before bidding.

I have used http://www.betterbidding.com/ for several years and have had VERY good luck in getting the hotels I thought I was going to get. I think there have been just 2 times I got a surprise.

I even used it for hotels in Eastern Europe last fall and I was 100% correct and very pleased.

I am not familiar with the sites you have listed, sludick.
