Hey everyone,
First and foremost I'd appreciate any help that I could get in trying to bid on Priceline, and thanks in advance for any help.
I am from Brisbane, Australia and I am finally taking my long desired holiday to the states. I will be needing accommodation everywhere I go, and after researching a bit I am pretty happy with what I can find, excluding San Francisco (and maybe New York - might post separately in that forum). Anyhow, San Francisco is a touch more expensive than I expected, and with the falling aussie dollar I need to try and save as much as I can.
I will be arriving in San Francisco on the 30th of March, and leaving on a road trip on the 6th of April (after catching warriors game on the 5th). I would prefer to stay around Fishermans Wharf, with the Marina - Lombard Street, and Financial District - Embarcadero as my secondary choices, and Union Square East and West as my third preferences.
I would prefer my hotels to be a minimum of 3.5 stars (as from what I have read some of the 3.5 star hotels match the 4 stars in the area). The cheapest hotel I have been able to find in Fisherman's Wharf is the Sheraton (well at least I am pretty sure its the Sheraton) under the express deals tab, which is at $214USD a night. Considering I am staying for a week I would prefer to get somewhere under the $200 mark, possibkly $150?
I am not even sure what to expect in terms of pricing per night, but most I have looked at are a lot more expensive. Also, would it be better to wait closer to the date, or should I get it booked now? I really don't know what the better approach would be.
Thanks
Prince Vegeta
