Buba

I have just checked on tripadvisor and HOTWIRE and you are correct. However on the website my totel stay would around 145$ for 2 nights including tax so not much difference with Hotwire (139$) for 2 nights incl. tax. and for that 6$ I will be sure that it is the right one. I think I'm going to that. It will be same price as I have paid for Motel 6 but as you say and I will get more for it. Thanks,

I would say: 4 star: 100$ maximum 3 star: 80$ maximum

My back-up is 72,9$/night excl. tax

Thanks for your comments. I'm willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel but a bid of 100$ is the maximum. Let's say I prefer to have a 100$ 3,5 star then a 90$ 3 star. However a 70$ 3 star is better than a 100$ 3,5 star. That's why I used to sessions for Fishermans' Warf, one for the 3 star and one for the 3,5 star. And Soma can be added if this is a good neighbourhood otherwise I prefer to leave it out. I think I will indeed need to increase my bids. Any more suggestions are welcome; I will definitely try my approach for Fisherman's Warf tonight again, if possible with higher bids for 3* and 3,5* and then maybe copy this approach to other regions but I think there should be a way to do it more systematically for all regions. Thanks already for the good advice

I understood that my offer was too low for what I wanted so I have done now follinwg bids yesterday and today but no success yet. As back-up I have taken a room at Motel 6 Hollywood which I can cancel but I would really like to have a nicer hotel.

For your information, I already tried a little bit for Fishermans Warf but without success. All other area's are rebidding zones This is what I have done. 70 Fishermans Warf 3,5 65 Fishermans Warf 3 70 Fishermans Warf+ Marina 3 Opened new window 78 Fishermans Warf+ Marina+ Japan Town 3,5 81 Fishermans Warf+ Marina+ Japan Town+civic 3,5 84 Fishermans Warf+ Marina+ Japan Town+civic+SFO North 3,5 87 Fishermans Warf+ Marina+ Japan Town+civic+SFO North+ South San Fran 3,5

sorry from 20th september and leave 22nd september Thanks!

3* Hotel San Francisco: I'm looking for at least 3star hotel in San Franciso for a max bid of 100$. Area's Fisherman's Warf Union Square West Union Square East Financial District Soma (probably also ok but don't remember this neigbourhood. Don't have really a preference between these as long as these are safe. One day we will visit more Fisherman's Warf/Alcatraz and the other more in the city sightseeing and Sausolito probably. Maybe also hotel with parking spot included or affordable parking not to far (max. 25$ a day) but this is not too important. Thanks!

I finally did the following without success. As I have seen that taxes were still added after your bid, I lowered my bid a little bit. * bid for Marina del Rey @50$ * bid for Marina del Rey, Inglwood @60$ * bid for Marina del Rey, Inglewood and Lawdale @ 65$ but no luck for the moment. Any suggestion what to do now?

Hi again, I have just found the rebidzones. It is Inglewood and Lawndale. Thanks,

Hi, Thanks for your explantion. I indeed need some help to identify the zones. I have tried to do as described somewhere on this board. Checked one by one what the highest star rating is of each zone. However in L.A I don't find any with only 1 or 2 stars. I see following zones: Downtown, Aiport, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Marina Del Rey, Manhattan, Beaches, Burbank-Glendale or can I use also the one of other cities? Thanks for your help!

No USD, I used the wrong sign, sorry.

Yes I will be happy with any 3 star hotel in that area. I have seen that there are 3 hotels for the moment. I would like to start with 60

Hi everybody, It is the first time that I'm going to use Priceline and would like to have a proposal for a bidding strategy on hopefully the Courtyard Hotel in Marina del Rey Los Angeles. Can you help me? Best Regards
