Hi there folks,
Firstly I would like to thank in advance for any help I may receive.
We are a couple of Kiwis from New Zealand who are really looking forward to a well-earned trip to the states. We are however shocked by the cost of accommodation in San Francisco and we are trying to save as much money as possible. So we thought we might try priceline to get a good price.
I must confess I have looked over all the boards and FAQs on this site but I find it quite hard to get my head around the whole concept of bidding so apologies in advance if I seem a little slow.
As said we want to save as much money as possible and therefore do not care about stars nor location. But, as we are innocent young naive New Zealanders, we do want to make sure we are in a safe neighborhood and not out by the airport. Hopefully our lack of particular wants will make it easier on you dear folks as opposed to harder. But if you do want a preference anywhere in the Union Street area would be preferred.
Now for the rub. I have been charged with trying to find one room accommodation for the 15-19 April for less than 85USD. Now please let me know if this is an impossible ask.
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 in advance
