First bid of $75 was met with a $100 counteroffer; I started over with a bid of $87 which was accepted.

Have been bidding for a couple weeks on a 4* or better in San Francisco for 8/9 (Sat) through 8/12 (Tues), in the following zones: Financial District - Embarcadero Union Square East - Nob Hill Union Square West Fisherman's Wharf SOMA - Moscone Center Bids up to $185 were routinely rejected without counteroffers, Hotwire was showing inventory in the $300-400+ range. Budget was $200/night max. Finally saw a $188 4* in the financial district pop up on Hot.wire for 8/10 (Sun) through 8/12 (Tues). Jumped over to Price.line to try to score the same listing but with a lower bid. First bid of $175 was accepted so I guess I started too high, but am content with the result. We rejuggled our travel plans slightly and will be staying Sat night in Santa Clara instead of downtown SF (and will save a bundle of money).

These are the accessibility amenities that were listed in the confirmation email that I received: Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower

Amenities: Free Parking, Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurants(s) additional amenities displayed after purchase: Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, Tennis Nearby

Bid $175, received counteroffer of $234; logged off and started over with a bid of $205 which was accepted.

Was hoping for the Listel based on amenities listed, and that's what I won. Amenities: Free Internet, Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access Had been bidding on Priceline over the past few days (4* Downtown Vancouver with re-bids in Granville Entertainment District and City Hall - Downtown Vancouver South), but bids of $85, 90, 95, 99, 100, 103, 105 were all unsuccessful; no counteroffers were presented.
