Priceline Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Airport SFO) Hyatt Regency

[ucsf_med]

Any idea how to win Larkspur Landing instead of Hilton Garden Inn or any other 2.5* in South San Francisco? I am planning for a Tues arrival and Fri departure in June. I'd love the amenities at Larkspur for the price, but I don't want HGI.

What are the actual date(s) of your stay?

[ucsf_med]

June 7 arrival June 10 departure.

[thereuare]

I don't think you'll be able to target only the Larkspur for these dates.

What's the re-bidding strategy for South San Francisco 2.5*? Can I add Union Square West, East, and Fisherman's Wharf as re-bids without fear of winning in those areas (aren't they more expensive than SSF)?

[thereuare]

I wouldn't.

Ridiculous...

Accepted offer $39 at Hyatt Regency

I'm going to try again by splitting the dates

What the heck is going on?

I'll try again tomorrow, ask my brother to bid...

Question: Do you pay more fees/taxes by splitting up into individual days?

[thereuare]

Glad to see your partial success (you're getting there!) Splitting your bid does cause a higher total fee, but the difference is neglible.

Rates jump at the Hyatt for the last nite of your stay so it shouldn't be too surprising if the hotel is not available thru the opaque services or requires a higher price than your other nites.

Please start a NEW TOPIC for the balance of your stay since a different hotel may be won and we'd like to be able to accurately reflect each hotel won in the topic title.

You can add a link to the new thread to this one (and vice-versa) so others can see you piece together the entire stay.
