Greetings, We're in Monterey now staying at Intercontinental, which we booked through this site on HOTWIRE. Looking to extend stay for night of July 2. See a four star with amenities listed as: Boutique, breakfast, no smoking rooms, Internet, and Golf. Any idea what this might be? It's $135 at this moment. Also, wondered about 3.5 star with pool, spa, fitness, Internet, business center, restaurant on site, no smoking for $169. Thanks for your help!

Greetings, I am planning a stay in San Jose area Friday, June 26. Trying to identify a hotel for $89 in "downtown San Jose area." Amenities are restaurant, fitness, high-speed internet, business center. Any idea what this might be? St. Clair Hotel? If this is correct, is it kid-friendly? Thx, Tizzy

Thanks for the tip!! I did just book a four-night stay on Hotwire (through this site) at the Holiday Inn Express for June 27-July 1. I checked it last night and price was $114. Checked it again this evening to book and price was $77! Wow - don't see how it could go lower than that but maybe it will. At any rate, we are very excited. I appreciate the advise on where to stay with kids. It think this will be a great choice. The breakfast won me over (we'll make sure we fill them up before we head out each day) as well as the fact the hotel is newer than others, also positive reviews on Trip Advisor. Now will research parking options. ...and other hotels down Highway 1 (Monterey, etc) because we'll be driving down there for a couple of days.

...Still looking...now wondering if I should consider Fisherman's Wharf. Anyone else have any comments on this area? Traveling with kids... don't like really tourist areas, but maybe should overlook this for price and location. We will be exploring lots of neighborhoods/areas. Now looking at June 26-June30. $80 Hotwire rate for 3.5 star on F.W. Amenities: Fitness center, High-speed Internet, Business Center, Pool, Restaurant. What hotel might this be? Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the reply. Will probably stick with HOTWIRE. May just get a twin blow-up mattress at Wal-Mart just for the trip. I guess I don't mention it to hotels, though, huh? In the past we usually stay at condos through VRBO because we're at a place for a week. This trip is different as we'll be traveling around, so the hotel works best for us.

Greetings, Just found this forum after "Googling" 4 star hotels in Union Square East. What a great service! We're heading to San Fran and surrounding area in late June. Want to spend probably 3 days in the city. I was looking on Hotwire for June 26-June 29 and found a 4-star in Union Square West for $99. Amenities are swimming pool, fitness center, business center, restaurant, high-speed internet. Any idea which one this might be? Also, we're a family of 5 - two adults, 3 children (7,9,12). Seems like one extra is one too many as I can't find many hotels that have access for five. Any suggestions? Some more questions: :) Does anyone suggest a particular area of the city that would be a better place to stay? We're not really interested in the tourist trap of Fisherman's Wharf, but I'm not too familiar with other locations. Would Union Square East or West be good choices? What are parking costs? Need the car for June 26 and 27 but not the 28th and 29th (but then need it again after the 29th since we're heading down the coast). Would it be better to go with Hotwire or try to name a price on Priceline? Thanks for any suggestions!
