Priceline Hotel: 3* San Francisco (USE - Embarcadero) Club Quarters

[jdmss]

I have been trying unsuccessfully for about 1 month bidding for a 4*, I have included all zones except Fishermans wharf and San Mateo. I have gone up as high $100.00 and still no luck. I do not want to go over $100, I am bidding for 4 rooms - 8 adults (after cruise hotel night).

I can get a 4* Embarcadero for $120 which I believe is either the Omni or the Hyatt on Hotwire.

It is for one night only October 29, 2005. Should I give up and just book through Hotwire (and eat the extra $20) or is it worth it to keep on trying?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Rates are not cheap for these dates, and the Marriott is sold-out, but there is usually something available in this area so i would suspect that things will open up as you get closer to your check-in date.

If you had to would you eventually lower to 3* (if your date was approaching and the $120 on Hotwire disappeared)... how acceptable to that scenario would you be?

Thinking about the "what if" scenarios can often help you make a decision.

Before taking the Hotwire offer i would at least try Priceline up to the Hotwire price.

Ok, I will wait a little longer closer to the date, if I had to take a 3* I would or like you say bid up to Hotwire's price.

Will post whatever is the outcome, thanks for your input !!

I was tired of bidding up to $120.00 for a 4 * and was adding boutique also. A few days ago the 4* jumped from $116 to $171 on Hotwire.....

So today I bid $90.00 for 3* and was accepted for 4 rooms at Club Quarters. Hope it is nice!!

Glad to see you got this settled... hopefully you're happy with the results.

I assume this is in the USE-Embarcadero zone? Was $90 your first bid at the 3* level?

Thanks for sharing and enjoy your stay.

Yes this is USE, and it was my first bid for $90 and was accepted....
