Well, I went ahead an reserved a first night, after having made sure the hotel showed up for the next 13 night. I ended up having to split the reservation into 3 periods (for some reason the hotel wouldn't show up for any other time period combinations. But I did get the Downtown Marriott (on Market St.), which is the one I had hoped for, for a price of 48 per night (including all fees & taxes). When we informed previously at the hotel for their best rate for a period of 2 weeks, the manager couldn't do better than $109 per night. Needless to say we're pretty pleased. THanks for your help.

Thanks for that wonderfull idea of purchasing the 1st night and finding out what it is!! Hadn't thought of that. As soon as my parents know they're exact travel dates I'll be sure to do that and add my experiences to your board. Thanks a bunch, Rob

Howdy, I've got my parents coming over from The Netherlands to watch over our then newborn for a few weeks and though we love them to death we are eternally grateful that they want to stay in a hotel and have some privacy. I'd love to have them as close by as possible, and am hoping that the 3.5* hotel for $42.- a night, that hotwire comes up with in the period 2/21/04 - 3/06/04 is the downtown marriott here in R'side. On hotwire it shows as one of the amenities a restaurant on the premises, which the Marriott has (and I doubt is an amenity many offer around here). However, I'm scared to death that they'll end up a few blocks down on University at the local Best Western/Courtyard where the roaches are checking into the hotels to get away from the scum on the streets! Anybody out there knows anything that can help me out! THANKS
