Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (Financial District-Embarcadero) Hilton San Francisco Financial District

[andreaborn]

After reading sauvignonblanca's priceline win last week (win at $92 with Le Meridien, same time frame but 3 nights), I monitored Hotwire hoping to see prices drop a bit. Instead, prices ticked up today, so I kicked myself and started bidding. To help others calibrate, FD 4* on Hotwire had been sitting at $104 since last week, I think it was at $114 when it spurred me to bid, and is now showing $126. USW is showing $109.

I started at $80 with FD, USE and USW and scaled up by $5 increments to start.

At $90, I was offered a re-bid if I upped it to $113 (other thread's re-bid offer was $104).

Turned that down and went with smaller increments, winning the FD Hilton at $102.

Not thrilled as I like the Hyatt Regency's location better and the Hilton's ratings are worse, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

I used BetterBidding's PRICELINE links for all searches and bids -- as always, really appreciate this resource.
