Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (USW) Hotel Monaco

[mled1]

Looking for a strategy for USE, USW or Fisherman's Wharf.

Already tried bidding with $65, $70 and $85, but was rejected.

Seems to be a convention in the city?!

Thanks again.

What about the results from your previous PRICELINE Bay Area post.

[mled1]

Just posted the result...

We still need more info there to properly classify that post.

You bid up to $85 for all 3 of those zones?

[mled1]

Yes, for all three zones

Rates are not high for these dates... i would book a cancellable back-up and continue to try every 72 hours for the next 2 weeks.

Keep us updated.

Ok, we shifted dates and had success ...

First bid (USE + USW) $68 was rejected. Second bid (USE + USW + Fisherman's Wharf) $72 was rejected. Also the third bid was rejected (+ Cathedral Hill).

After the fourth bid we got a surprise with the Monaco Hotel ...

Congratualations on your win and thank you for sharing your success with the board... adding this new hotel to our lists as well!

I am correct that this is in the USW zone? Also, do you recall the amount of your third bid (the one immediately prior to the $84 acceptance)?

Enjoy your stay.

[mled1]

Yes, it's in the USW zone.

The bids prior to $84 were $76 and $80.

I'm sorry it was the fifth bid, which was succesful.
