We are now going to SF for the night of May 29th. We decided to save some $ and book thru PL. Bid on a 4* in USW. Bid $68 - rejected. They offered it for $19 more. Added Cathedral Hill and Rebid $72 -rejected. They offered it for $22 more. Added Civic Center and Rebid $75 - accepted. We got the Renaissance Stanford Court in Nob Hill. It's gotten some terrible reviews on Trip Advisor but we'll just lower our expectations and will likely be very happy. Parking is $40 nite so we're going with one of the city garages which you can get for about $16 nite. Go to www.ci.sf.ca.us for a list/map/prices of city garages. Thanks for all your help.

We just made a purchase for one nite in S.F. but our dates changed (now going in May) and we booked thru PL. Should I post results here or on PL forum as separate trip ?

Sorry again - I made the post in the correct place this time . Thanks for your patience.

We never ended up bidding for a hotel in Santa Monica as I plans changed. Sorry for the late response.

Sorry about the late reply. We did not take the Santa Monica trip after all.

Hello, I am looking for a room for 8/6-8/8 in S.F. for my husband and I (celebrating a big b'day). We want to stay somewhere special - would like the Mandarin Oriental but it's out of our price range so we are now looking at Hotwire. I saw a 4 1/2* in the Embarcadero for $122. I noticed on posts on your site that the PArk Hyatt and Omni are also 4 1/2 * in this area but they are listed as Cust. Favourites. This one is not listed as a Cust. Favourite although I believe the amenities are the same - Rest, Fitness, Hi-speed, Business center. Any idea what it might be ? Thank you

Hi, Thanks for your response. We are only looking for one nite on 3/3/05. As far as $$ is $100 too unrealistic ? Yes, we will definitely consider other 4* and understand that your list is not complete and we may end up somewhere else.

Saw your 4 * list for Santa Monica. The Santa monica Beach Hotel is only one listed which is fine by us. Have no idea how much to bid. I'm new to PL and HW. Have never bid before. Are there other 4* we are unaware of ? How much is resaonable ? Thanks
