Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* San Francisco (Nob Hill - Grace Cathedral) The Scarlet Huntington

[IzzieUSA]

Hi,

 

I just found a 4.5* Hotel in Nob Hill for 199$ / night in august 2016 (24-27). Looks like it is the Scarlet Huntington? Business center, indoor pools, pools, smoke-free, fitness, internet, restaurant, spa

 

Is this a good deal for the travel time and hotel? Or might it get even cheaper in the next couple of months?

 

I've last been to SF 5 years ago and it seems like it got really expensive compared.

Thanks for advice

best

Isabel

I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 4.5 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates:

Restaurant
Pool
Indoor Pool
Fitness
Smoke Free
Hi-Speed Internet
Business
Spa
Room Accessible

... if this is what you're seeing, i'd agree that The Scarlet Huntington is the most likely outcome.

 

Five years the economy was in much worse shape than it is today and business and business travel was just starting its upswing after the financial crisis.  Hotel rates (both discounted and thru traditional booking channels) have steadily increased over the last 7-8 years, with a few cities (San Francisco being one of them) having seen more of a ramp-up in rates than others.

Hi,

 

I just found a 3.5* Hotel in Japan Town for 150$ / night in august 2016 (24-27). Description: Free Internet, Business center, Fitness center, Pet friendly, Pool(s), Restaurant(s) Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired

 

I first thought it was the Hotel Kabuki, because it is the only 3.5 star on your list in that area. But this doesn't have a pool? So I thought: It might be the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway IF they moved that one up to a 3.5 star (other sites rank it as 3.5 star). The rate ist about 30$ cheaper than recent offers on other sites (including Holiday Inn itself) for the Holiday Inn. Might be it?

 

What do you think?

Best

An upgrade of the Holiday Inn to the 3.5* level since it was last reported to the board would be my best guess for this one.
