Thanks for the great information and insight! I have a win on Priceline for Saturday, 10/29/2011 at the 3* Oakland Marriott City Center for $45 using the PRICELINE link! I'm totally happy with that. Thanks again!!

October 29the arrival, departure 30th

Thanks for the insights! I'll check HOTWIRE before deciding how to proceed.

Thanks for the insight. I would like to name my own price on a three star in Oakland that is close to BART, and don't want to mess with something by the airport that would require that I use the connector bus to BART.

in a recent post the two 3 star hotels in downtown Oakland (Eastbay (Oakland - Alameda)) were identified as 3* Courtyard Downtown 3* Marriott City Center (previously 3.5*) I need to have something within walking distance of BART. These two would be fine. Can anyone confirm that this is the population of downtown Oakland hotels? When I look at the "buy it now" option the Clarion is included, which would be fine, as well as airport selections. The "name your own price" Oakland/Alameda seems to exclude the airport area, as it appears to be separate. Can anyone confirm my observations? Not sure why the Clarion is not included in the downtown/Oakland-Alameda list, and want to make sure I'm not by the airport and have to deal with the shuttle. Thanks.

What am I doing wrong if I see PRICELINE offerings near Oakland Airport when I select Oakland 3-star? I want to pursue the two Mariotts in city center. Thanks!

Dates are 9.23 to 9.25

Started at $90 in downtown, no go, added the Latin Quarter, still no go, hit at $95. Used the BB PRICELINE link of course! Thanks BB and users for the valuable service and information!
