[Kaneohe0850]

Can you provide some guidance on bidding for one night at a 3, 3.5 or 4 star hotel at the San Francisco Airport (Burlingame or North-San Bruno)? Here are the details:

checking in May 7, out May 8

Needs to have a free airport shuttle

Thanks!

Unless something has changed (and things do change) all reported 3* and higher in SFO South-Burlingame and SFO North-San Bruno have a free airport shuttle.

A 3* will cost less than a 4*. Are you looking for the least expensive 3* or higher in either zone? Or do you want to bid to your limit for a 4* in SFO South first; then if rejected bid to your limit for a 3.5* in SFO South; then if rejected bid for a 3* in both zones?

What is your bidding limit for a 4*? For a 3.5*? For a 3*?

Good questions--sorry I wasn't more clear on my specifications...see below listed in order of preference:

1st choice: 4 star under $95 all-in, located in SFO-South, then SFO-North

2nd choice: 3.5 star under $80 all-in, located in SFO Suth, then SFO-North

3rd choice: 3 star under $65 all-in, located in SFO South, then SFO North

Thanks!

PRICELINE's SFO North-San Bruno zone only goes as high as 3*, so if 4* is your first choice you can only bid SFO South-Burlingame.

HOTWIRE has a 4* in SFO South for $86 and Priceline usually beats Hotwire.

You have SIX free rebid zones for 4* in SF. If you need help determining your rebid zones please ask.

I suggest $55 for a 4* in SFO-South. Then add your six rebids one at a time, raising your bid $5 with each, up to $85. If that doesn't work buy the $86 hotel on HOTWIRE or try for 3.5*.

Please start your bids with this PRICELINE link and let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Success on my second bid! Started at $55 and was countered at $70, so I knew I was close. Here are the details:

Hyatt Regency SFO Airport

1 night, May 7

Thanks for your help!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see this win came fairly easy and that you received a nice deal at this property. I didn't have any problems, but if you're a light sleeper you can request a room in the back of the hotel which doesn't face the main road in front of this property.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
