Priceline Hotel: Looking for SF 4* from 4/24 - 4/30, 3 zones

[trinhxh]

I have been trying to use Better Bidding an attempt to buy a 4* hotel room from Sunday, April 24 thru Saturday, April 30.

I see others here booking a 4* through Priceline for around $100. I went up to 3 zones (USE, Financial District- Embarcardero, and SOMA) and from 4* down to 3.5*. I maxed out at $115 and have been unsuccessful. I also checked Hotwire and noticed some decent prices (~$160).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Sorry to hear that your bids have been accepted. :) Prices do look moderately higher than average for these dates - what would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Lastminutetravel.com has the Clift for $118/nite and the Renaissance Stanford Court for $112/nite.

Sorry, I would really prefer either 1) Embarcardero (Hyatt) or 2) SOMA area and was looking to spend no more than $120. I think the Hyatt is considered a 4* hotel. Can anyone suggest what the 3.5* hotels are in the Embarcardero area?

You can see all the hotels reported to the board in each zone and star rating in the Priceline Hotel List (but be sure to read the comments at the top of the hotel list, as there could be other hotels not yet reported to the board, as well, star ratings do change as hotels are upgraded/downgraded)

Have you bid $120 yet or have you only gone as high as $115?

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

You have to be willing to accept any 4* hotel in these two zones. There is a possibility of winning Le Meridien or the Omni in the Embarcadero area, or maybe a new 4*.

Are you willing to split your bid and stay at two hotels? Your first two nights, 4/24-4/26, look cheaper than the rest. A few days ago another poster won 4/24-4/26 at the 4* Grand Hyatt in USE for $90.

For 4/24-4/26 Hotwire has a 4* in USE for $98.

For 4/24-4/30 Hotwire's 4* in USE jumps to $174.

If you win 4/24-4/26 for $90 you can bid up to $135 for the four remaining nights and still come in at $120/night average.

If you don't want to split you'll need to:

1) bid higher than $115

2) add USW zone, or

3) try for 3.5* in your preferred zones.

I was unable to find a hotel with the price that met my requirements so I used my corporate discount to book outside of Price.line/ Hot.wire.

Thank you for closing the thread.
