hi

trying to book USE for the above two nights

gone up to $200/night butno luck, though from the calander i see the hyatt has given a couple of rooms at 187.

from Expedia a number of hotels are sold out -is something happening specifically in town then?

will i get 4 star for this type of rate if i have to move over to usw/nob hill -just a bit worried about getting close to tenderloin

thanks in advance

If you're really worried about the tenderloin - and there's no need to be, but anyway - why not bid EMB/FD, SOMA AND FW? They're not near the Tenderloin. EMB and SOMA are still central, and FW has the F Market and the cable car to get you where you want to to. Availability is not awful on those dates, but not great either. So you probably need to widen your funnel.

Also BTW - lastminutetravel.com has more availability than HW, so if you don't get anywhere with PL, you can try LMT. Easy ID's using BEAV's method in Run of House on the forum.

Are you finding anything interesting thur LMT and/or willing to expand your zones at this point in time?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

hi

just concluding this post

i bid up to $230 for use,usw and Embarcadero and got nothing

went on LMT as suggested and got hyatt regency for $213 -the uk version of the site isnt opaque though and so i could choose

this was on request and has now been confirmed

seems to be limited availability these dates on many booking sites so must be a busy time/something on ?

a bit more expensive than other hotels in vegas and LA that i have booked thro priceline for the trip ,but happy enough with this

i have noticed a couple of bad reports on LMT though and i wonder if anyone has any experience good or bad...should i be worried?

regards

Glad you found something that works for your needs.

I wouldn't be too worried about using LMT, but booking issues can happen thru anyone you book with, so it's always a good ideal to travel with printouts of your reservations and confirmations... makes it much easier to solve any problems which may arise from time to time.

Have a good trip.
