Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (SOMA-Moscone Center) Marriott Marquis

[ithinkurdumb]

I've been trying to bid for 3.5*+ downtown SF from 10/9-10/20 without any luck. Thought of bidding seperately (I don't mind changing hotels), but also no luck on 10/9-10/13 and 10/18-10/20. I bid up to $110.

Followed the info on the board and bid $105 for 10/13-10/15 and got the Marriot Marquit.

Could anyone share some suggestion for the rest? My range would be 3*, up to $125 (include tax/fee) for downtown SF, and $100 for Emeryville/Berkeley. It seems to be a super high season in SF now. Any idea is appreacited.

Used the PRICELINE link on the board :)

Congratulations on your (partial) success!

There are exceptions, but when SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID it's usually recommended to try to get at least half of your dates accepted in the first purchase and/or dates which include your first or last nite stay, as this gives you more flexibility in the remaining nites. Since you now have a partial win in the middle of your dates range, you're locked-in to the possibility of at least three different hotels.

We've used this thread reflect your successful bid for 10/13-10/15... please start NEW TOPICS for 10/11-10/13 and 10/15-10/20 (assuming these are still the dates you need in this area) and we'll help with each of those stays in their respective threads.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Hope you enjoy this leg of your stay in the area.

I have to split because I'll have two short trips to Napa and San Jose during my stay in SF, and I wouldn't mind staying in different hotels :)

I ended up getting The Clift from LMT for $123 (pre-tax) on 10/18-10/20. It seems to be the best deal (bid $120 on priceline and got nothing). But still looking for a priceline hotel for 10/9-10/11.

Since it seems you have a car.. I see a nice pick over at Walnut creek area on HOTWIRE. I am not real familiar with the exact distances, I just went there to visit my aunt a couple times when I was visiting SF. $59.. 85% customer satisfaction on HOTWIRE.

Good luck
