Got the Westin Hotel on Market Street for $85.

Used the priceline provided here.

Thanks to everybody here to give me the advice on how to bid.

So do you now want to try for a 4*, in either the USE or USW zones, up to $100?

If so we can suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

That's correct.

Oh I see. I guess I better stick with 4* then. Forget about the boutique. I was mislead by the how priceline classifies a boutique hotel like you said in-between 3* and 4*.

I tried put to in $77 for a boutique and it counteroffered with $99. But I will give up triying boutique after what I heard about a boutique.

I would, that's an excellent deal. It's the people trying to book a room on the 05/16-05/18 w/e that aren't getting any deals. A 4* room for $100/night near Union. I'd be gleeful to book that!

Please forgive me for my naiveness. What's so special about those dates? It's not memorial day, not completely weekend, no holiday. Is there a major event or show in the city? Why so difficult to find deals?

I started off with a 4 star in Union Suqare East for $75 and next added Union Square West for $80. Then it came back with a counter offer of $102.

Yes, you are right about the maximum I would be putting: about $100, which translates to about $250 for 2 days including tax and fees.

I prefer Union Square because I am not planning to drive. Union Square is probably the most convinent location (in terms of eating, shopping and travelling to other part of the city) in the city. Is that right? Or is there another location is as convinent as if not more than Union Square but with cheaper hotels?

I would want a more comfortable and quiet hotel. And San Franc they have these hotels called boutique (sorry, Los Angeles doesn't have anything like this). Is a boutique like a 3 star but declorated and a little bit more luxuary than a regular 3 star? So I think I would want to try a boutique which I never tried before.

I am trying to bid a hotel in Union Square from 5/9-5/11 around union square. I put in $80 for a 4 stars and it asked me to raise $22 more. I am still thinking if I should. Someone could get a 4 star room!

What's the strategy to bid on PRICELINE? Is it too late or too early to bid on a hotels for that weekend now?

PS I put the same message to a wrong thread. How do I remove it from there?
