Thanks for the help! I will check out the rebidding link. Bummer these dates are higher but I have some time to work it out. I think I could go up in price or maybe come down in * level, I'll play around with it. Which zones do you think are lower (around $110) for the 4*?

I clicked through on both Priceline and HOTWIRE links on this site and this is what I found so far. Nothing great through Hotwire so I named my own price with Priceline. Followed the advice given to another poster and started at 68 for 4* increasing price as I added downtown zones. Ended at $82 having added SOMA, USE, USW, EMB, Civic Ctr No, Civic Ctr. So. and adding 3.5* level I didn't get anything. Now I haven't used Priceline a lot but my trip is about a month away. I have a free place to stay in Oakland but I thought it would be nice to score a fancy hotel in the city. So I have some time. Do you think I can get something 3.5-4* for under $90? How long do I have to wait to start bidding all over again and go up to $90? Does it lock me out for a certain time period? I don't want to go down in stars or add zones too far out of the city. Thanks for any advice you can give!

Thank you for the site and the link to the parking tips. I see that the rooms are quite small so I am glad I only need it for one night by myself. Now I would love to find out about good bars/restaurants that have a professional happy hour. Any leads? :)

Got this today for $60 on the first bid. + Taxes and Fees 16.64 Total $76.64 I am hoping to find a good deal on parking for the night in the area as I will have my car.

Hello - I am new to the board so I'm not sure if I should be starting a new thread for this but today I just bid on priceline and won the Hotel Felix for $60/night for 12/13/10. Thanks for the tip on the Whole Foods. I did click through the PRICELINE link at the top of the betterbidding page. Thanks again for all of the great help on these forums! Charlie
