I finally went with the 3.5* hotel in USE for $84with the amenities listed above, and got the Sir Francis Drake Hotel (a Kimpton Hotel) right in Union square, on Powell Street. I looked up the hotel, and it's an an excellent location, with the cable cars running right in front of the hotel. The going rate for that hotel on their website $309/night. I also used the HOTWIRE link from here.

Thanks for the tips. I just tried, and went up to $100/night for USE & USW and was rejected. I don't get it, because there are people getting the same 4* zones for the weekend before and after. Any ideas? I'm starting to consider the 3.5* in USE (even though I would much rather stay in USW) posted on HOTWIRE for $82/night. What do you think?

I'm having the exact same problem, I bid up to $100 for 4* USW and USE for May 15-19, and was rejected every single time. Anyone have any ideas? I also saw a hotwire rate for $82 for a 3.5 star, but I prefer the 4*s on priceline.

Thanks for the tips, I will use the link and try again. When I close the browswer and open it again to bid for the next zone, do I need to wait 24 hours?

For priceline, these are my parameters: Zone preferred: Union Sqaure West and Union Square East (both equal) Check In: May 15, 2009 Check Out: May 19, 2009 1 room 4 star Free Rebid Zones are (because they don't have 4* hotels): Civic Centre, Fisherman's Wharf, Marina - Lombard Street, South San Francisco Max Bid: $95 I hope you can help, thanks!

I would like to try priceline again today, so any suggestions would be very helpful! Thanks!

I am also new to priceline and hotwire. I tried priceline this morning for a 4* in SF without any luck. If anyone is familiar with the hotels on hotwire, can anyone suggest one? I prefer to stay in USW or USE area. Dates: May 15 - 19 My bids were as follows for 4*: 75 - USE (rejected) 78 - added USW (rejected) 80 - added Civic Center (rejected) 82 - added Fishermans Wharf (rejected) Anyone have any tips for my next try tomorrow? Thanks in advance!

If anyone knows what the 3.5 star hotel in USE, that would be great. The dates I submitted were May 15-19, 2009 and got $79/night. The amenities are: - fitness center - restaurants - business center - spa Trip Advisor rates it a 3.5/5 Thanks everyone!
