Priceline Hotel: 4* San Diego (Downtown-Harbor Island) Andaz

[Bevin]

My wife and I will travel to SF and stay for 2 Night. It's our first time there so we don't know the area well but I am looking for a hotel for 08/11/2001-08/13/2011 somewhere near Fisherman Wharf/Dowtown Area. So i am guessing Fisherman Wharf (Preferred), USE, USW or Embarcadero would be fine. Looking to spend around $150 a Night for 3 Stars or better. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Welcome to the board, Bevin.

Checking the Priceline Calendar of Wins I see only three bidders have reported SF wins for your dates...at $165, $190, and $200. Availability is TIGHT.

Those were 4* and 3.5* wins. $150 might be enough for a 3* then, if not higher.

Since Fisherman's Wharf is your preferred zone you should try that first, then bid the Downtown zones if no luck in FW. 3.5* is the highest rating offered in FW.

First for 3.5* in FW, you have FIVE rebid zones. Those are zones that only have less than 3.5* quality hotels. If you need help determining your free rebids please ask.

Click this PRICELINE link, then bid $125 for 3.5* in FW. If rejected add your rebid zones one at a time, raising $5 with each, up to $150.

If that fails then try for 3* in FW. You only have ONE rebid zone for 3* in SF and that's Marina-Lombard.

First exit Priceline, close your browser, and start over from the PRICELINE link. Bid $135 for a 3* in FW. If rejected add Marina-Lombard and bid $150.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. If it doesn't fly we'll talk about Downtown.

Thanks, I will try it in a little bit and will let you know the result. :-)

No luck with 3.5 Star even with $155. I tried 3 star for $140 but haven't rebid yet. I found this deal on Last Minute Travel for $149/Night 4.5 Star, which seem to be the Hyatt in Embarcadero (I guess because the pictures show that it's Hyatt and i check Hyatt website of that location and reveal same pictures). Parking for this hotel is $59/Night. Do u think i should just go with this deal instead?

Thanks.

I think the deal on Last Minute Travel is 'on request' not 'available'.

With "On Request" listings LMT has to contact the hotel and see if they'll accept the offer. It can take up to 24 hours to hear back. If you can get the Hyatt for $149 that's terrific. It probably beats PL and HW. But it's a maybe.

Were your $155/3.5* and $140/3* bids in Fisherman's Wharf only? Have you done any bidding Downtown?

Before you contact LMT about the Hyatt I would try bidding up to the $149 LMT price on PRICELINE first....because you'll get a yes or no immediately. Why wait 24 hours for a reply if you don't have to?

[Bevin]

Start bidding from $75 and rebid with $5 increment and get accepted at $125 for Andez San Diego.

and Yes, i used the PRICELINE link from here. :-). Thank You.

Congrats on your success. :)

Good deal for this newer San Diego boutique! Can you confirm the date/s of travel so that we can update the site's Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins? Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for all your help. We've decided to go to SD instead and successfully booked a 4 Star Hotel in SD.

Thanks.

Thanks for the follow-up.

There is a character limit in the subject line so it may have been truncated... if you put the price and dates on the sub-topic title everything usually fits well.

Thanks again.
