Hi all

 

It's my first time to try bidding on a hotel in SF. I am not sure which area will be great for travelling around the city, and I am accompanying my parents to stay here for 2 nights during 7.30-8.1

 

I wish to get a decent hotel, clean and relatively not old. 150USD per night is the limit and 3*+ is preferred.

 

I just saw the post of 4* in USW for $120 about Monaco, Kimpton hotel(the time frame is almost close to mine) but I tried to bid 4* at $129 but didn't pan out.

 

Any suggestion on bidding strategy?

 

Thank you in advance! I love this site coz it did help me in my Miami trip:)

What zone(s) are you willing to stay in? Please post the zone(s) by PRICELINE name.

 

Also, what is your budget/night for 3* VS 4*? Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* vs. a 3* or is the goal for this trip the least expensive 3* or better?

Basically as long as it's relatively convenient to get to the tourists' attractions via public transport..so Union Square West/Union Square South/Financial District/Marina-Lombard Street/Japantown/Civic Center

 

I am hoping to find a 3*+ hotel with the upper limit of $150. Probably won't pay more than $200(inclusive of tax) just for a better star rating.

 

Thank you!

Would you have a preference for the Mark Twain at $158/nite vs. Club Quarters San Francisco at $167/nite (both rates are before taxes/fees)

If given these two, I think the Club Quarters enjoys higher customer rating, so I prefer this.

 

BTW, is it in the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal or the regular listing?

I would love to try bidding if these hotels are indicated.

[thereuare]

One of the above was on HOTWIRE, the other via PRICELINE EXPRESS... thru each of these services you can try to target the hotel indicated and purchase for the price listed above (assuming still available). If you bid on PRICELINE you may get a slightly cheaper price, but there is no way to target or guess the hotel you may receive, you would need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) in the zone(s) that you choose to bid.

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

[amanda_wsq]

yeah indeed. I am aware of the risk of using PRICELINE bidding but it may be worth it to get a good deal:)

Would you plz let me know Club Quarters was in the priceline or hotwire??

Have you change the dates of your stay OR are you looking to SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID?

Are you willing to pay the prices above in order to have a guess as to the hotel offered OR would you first try bidding on PRICELINE for a lower price? Are you willing to pay $188/nite for a hotel before taxes/fees?

[amanda_wsq]

I might split the PRICELINE bid coz I can always add one more night after confirming which hotel it is.

 

Also I think it's highly possible that bidding hotel is the same as the corresponding PRICELINE EXPRESS deal...So after having an idea what are those candidates, I will proceed to try bidding.

 

However, I did try bidding $140 for Financial District 3.5* ,but it didn't pan out:(

 

Would you mind sharing your idea on which hotels those might be? Thank you very much.
