Priceline Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Marina - Lombard Street) Da Vinci Villa

[bb92037]

CORRECTION: 2* or better would be OK with us.

 

I'm trying to book a room for August 18 for 1 night in San Francisco. The Express Deal is offering $163 for a 3* hotel in the Marina - Lombard area. I'm guessing that hotel is Da Vinci Villa, which would be OK. But with taxes it'll probably come out close to $200, which is a bit high for us. I'm wondering if I can get it -- or something like it -- for less by bidding for it.

 

We're OK with any area in the city:

• Center South - Hayes Valley –  detail map
• Financial District - Embarcadero –  detail map
• Fisherman's Wharf –  detail map
• Japan Town - Civic Center North –  detail map
• Marina - Lombard Street –  detail map
• Richmond –  detail map
• SOMA - Moscone Center –  detail map
• South San Francisco –  detail map
• Union Square East - Nob Hill –  detail map
• Union Square West –  detail map

 

And we prefer a hotel with a pool. How should I go about bidding?

 

Also, we are actually 2 adults with 2 young kids (5 & 11yrs). I'm feeling optimistic that we can get a room with 2 beds, but ... is that foolish, you think? Should I just go with Da Vinci Villa?

 

Thanks.

I got antsy so I went ahead and booked the EXPRESS DEAL for 3* in Marina-Lombard for $163. It came out to $200 w/ taxes and fees. And the hotel turned out to be ...

... as I suspected ...

 

... although I'm a tad surprised that I was right ...

 

Ta da !!!

 

Da Vinci Villa.

 

Hotels..com has 'em for the same night for $206 + tax = probably around $240. So not bad, Priceline.express
