Priceline Hotel: Best guess at what bid a 3* - 4* can be won at SFO Aug. 17th?

[valencia]

Searching through your HOTWIRE link i have found

Please help ID 3* SFO North/Oyster point $66

3* $66

2 adults

August 17-18 one night

amenities listed are

Shuttle, fitness, bus.c., laundry, h.s. internet

The satisfaction rate is 90% which makes me think it could be the HI Express over the HI Airport. What do you think? Thanks for checking.

This is a match for both Holiday Inn Airport and Holiday Inn Express SFO North. So you need to have an open mind for both hotels. I can't favor any of them with the current HOTWIRE information.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE link, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.

PS. Please remember follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancell your trip, etc.

Just wondering. Looking at Hotwire prices, can I expect only a 10-15% less bid acceptance than a Hotwire price?

Are you refering to San Francisco or the airport zone SFO? If The City, what zones/areas would you be interested in?

[valencia]

SFO Burlingame, SFO San Bruno, or SF South. Have to collect family at airport in middle of our California trip.

Hotwire has these:

3* SFO North-Oyster Point $65

3* SFO South-Burlingame $65

3* SFO West-San Bruno $133

Offhand I'd guess a PRICELINE bid in the $45-55 range would get you a 3* in one of the three airport zones.

If you try it please use this PRICELINE link and let us know what you get.

Thanks. Will post my trials later.

Am probably going to buy the Howard Johnson San Bruno, ( gets VERY good reviews) through the support link here for Wyndham Hotels. I have a discount code, which makes it come out to only $67, includes breakfast and FREE parking. I have been looking at many of the 3* and above on Hotwire, and parking now is $6.95 at least in most cases. More if you go higher in stars. So one must keep that in mind.

I have tried to purchase this hotel on Wyndham here, but for some reason it does not show it available but if I go to the Hojo site, it is there. I will be booking the 17th and then the 28th one night, two adults. Both will be cancelable so if I don't like it on the 17th I will cancel my other reservation and post here.

Thanks for the observations.

I will probably buy the San Bruno Hojo through your support link here via Wyndham hotels. It has free parking and breakfast and still comes out cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express on Hotwire, especially when you add the $6.95 parking fee at HI Express.

I bought the Hojo San Bruno for $68 including tax at your support link for Hotels.com with a 10% off coupon ( Mayflowers10). But in this case it is not cancelable so I only bought the night before our fight home.

Thanks for letting us know what you ultimately decided to do for this stay and thank you for using the board's Hotels.com link for your purchase.
