Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (USE or USW) HELP?

[lookup]

I need two nights, I thought it would be a slam dunk!

I have had bids up to $125 rejected - anyone got any idea what it would take to get two nights in San Francisco (USE or USW) accepted?

Or an alternative zone whith nice 4 stars close to Union Square?

Is boutique any good? I have never stayed in one - have you?

These 3 are listed in USW

I'm not a fan of Boutique properties thru the opaque providers as there is too much variation in quality. As well, many are independent properties so if there is a problem, there is often not a 'corporate office' of heirarchy to speak to other than the staff at the hotel. I would be more included to take a Boutique property thru HOTWIRE as they use the Boutique as an amenity description, and attach a star rating to it, so you have a better idea of what your'e getting (a 4.5* Boutique hotel which is truly 'luxurious' or a 3* boutique which may just have small rooms)

I think rates are very high for these dates, what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional methods (use our BetterChecker to easily check rates direct thru multiple websites)
