Hotwire Hotel: 4* San Francisco (USW-Nob Hill) Parc 55 Wyndham

[austin_res]

Looking for a hotel in San Francisco for 10/27, 1 night. I saw this listing on hotwire:

4*, Union Square East, $115

Amenities:

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

Tripadvisor rating: 4.0

Based on the above info, this could be the Parc 55, Grand Hyatt, or maybe the Westin Market Street. I'm attending a conference at Moscone Conference center and want to be as close to there as possible. I'm staying the nights of 10/25-10/26 at the Parc 55 on a conference rate and would like to stay there for 10/27 as well. Grand Hyatt appears to be sold out, and Parc 55 has the lowest published rate of the possible hotels so could this make Parc 55 more likely?

If you want to be sure about getting Parc 55, look at LMT and use BEAV's method from Run of House/Off Topic on Identifying Hotels on Last Minute Travel. Prices are usually similar, so then just book it there instead.

While more the exception then the rule, we have seen hotels won when their websites were showing sold-out so i wouldn't totally exclude the Grand Hyatt... and the correlation between the hotel with the lowest retail price in the zone and the one received is very low, so i wouldn't draw any conclusions in this regard. If you only want the Parc 55 then PRICELINE / HOTWIRE probably aren't the best options for this stay, imo... if you're flexible, then you can probably get a good deal in area (and hope you get lucky and land the Parc 55)

Let us know what you decide and how we can be of further help.

I went ahead and booked the Hotwire hotel, and much to my delight it is the Parc 55. Amenities and price are the same as my original post. This hotel was recommended by 90% of hotwire reviews, and after doing a search, I discovered recent users who won the Parc 55 via hotwire reported 90% recommendation. Based on that, and given the Grand Hyatt is sold out, I figured the Parc 55 was the more likely of the 2 and for the price offered I decided it was worth the risk. That said, the Grand Hyatt is reasonably close to the Moscone Center and would also have been OK for me.

I checked LMT, and the Parc 55 is available there for $148.

I used the HOTWIRE link to book.

Good work. You got the exact hotel you wanted and saved $33, too. Your research made the risk minimal.

I wish every poster was as thorough!
