riceman Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Hello!I am looking to stay in San Francisco from 09/02/2011 to 09/06/2011 at a 3.5* to 4* hotel in the following areas:USEUSWEmbarcaderoFisherman's WharfMy ceiling is about $140 dollars a night, but of course I'd rather start off lower :)I already tried going up to about $115 dollars using the bidding strategy / links found here, but to no avail. Can someone help with a strategy? Also, I have considered the SOMA location, but I am wondering if that is a safe neighborhood, close to Union Square, etc. Thanks.
thereuare Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?Another user won the 3.5* rated Galleria Park for $135 for the same nites as your own, as per this priceline hotel winning bid.Alternately, what i'm guessing to the be the Warwick San Francisco in the USW is available for $137/nite, if that is of any interest (and the Pickwick Hotel is available for $144/nite)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

riceman Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Posted August 18, 2011 Hello,I would like to go cheapest possible for a 3.5 *. My preference of area is USE, Embarcadero, USW, FW. Galleria Park looks like a nice stay.Is it best to make these bids ASAP, or is it a better idea to wait til closer to the date?Thanks!
Gallus50 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 If you're sure you're going, on days with high demand it's best not to wait. You could get shut out.
riceman Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Posted August 18, 2011 I did some bidding between the USE and Embarcadero and won the Galleria section for $140 a night. I used the PRICELINE link from here.Thanks
MDang Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 Nice, got the same hotel and dates on my priceline winning bid. Maybe I'll run into you while we're there too.
