cat_intl Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Only 10 days to my travel date and I'm travelling to such an expensive city (SF) Thanks to the strategies provided on this forum, got 4* at $180 before tax, it was listed $299 on expedia, and when I check the listed price 3 days later, it went to more than $400 (crazy!) Although there are some negative reviews about this hotel on tripadvisor, I guess it's not a bad option given the time and location Here's how I went through: First-timer in SF, aimed at Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square area and Financial District Started from $150 for a 4* (because on the weekends the Hilton has a listed price of $104... but weekdays were like 300-500) Used all 6 free re-biz zones and have no success till $170, very disappointed as I usually can get something around $150 on the East coast Then used the PRICELINE link on this forum to started second round of bidding and got a win at $180, the Prescott Actually I haven't been on this website for more than 4 years, took me quite sometime to retrieve the password, but I got to share this experience Good luck everybody!

thereuare Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Congratulations on your success! (and welcome back :) ) Glad to see you found something reasonably affordable (on a relative basis) and that you're pleased with the results. Keep in mind that reviews are often written with a strong bias towards value... so while somebody paying $400/nite may be overly critical (given the high price) and find the hotel lacking in many regards, at less then half the price you may be able to overlook any minor flaws and find it to be a great property. I've stayed at some hotels where i was blown away with the property for the price paid... but i would have a very different opinion if i had been paying 2x-3x as much. Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase. Enjoy your stay.
