Priceline Hotel: Advice appreciated USE, USW, FD, 10/29

[fatboydave]

Looking for guidance on these areas: USE, USW, FD, for 10/29. Would be using Bart from SFO. Budget about $100 and looking for 3.5 or above. Any suggestions or ideas of what is available at this time would be appreciated.

Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Louisiana thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then reply to this thread indicating if you're willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR if your goal is the least expensive 3.5* or better and and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Goal is least expensive for one night.... but willing to go $125 for 4* or better in the USE/USW area.

I do think you have a shot at a 4* hotel in the USE or USW zones... does this mean you want to for this first up to $125, then if rejected try for a 3.5* in any of the three zones?

Please confirm and we'll advise accordingly.

Will try for 4* first then go down to 3.5* if it can't be done within the budget.

How much would you estimate the 4* should go for around that time? Any idea of hotel possibilities?

Just for research sake, Lastminutetravel.com has the Hyatt Regency for $95/nite, the Clift for $124/nite, and the Westin St. Francis for $125/nite. It appears you should be able to get a bid accepted for $100 or less on PRICELINE. Good luck.

How did you make the determination that the Hyatt was available at that price?
