ladybugsea Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 Looking at 4* San Francisco (Union Square East) 7/30-8/2 for 3 people. Under $200 (wanted $150 but after watching for a few weeks, I realize that will most likely not happen). Would also consider other areas. Any guesses for the following? Bidding helper has been showing me an error for full amenities for the past two days on two different computers. $196 4* USE 80% rec, 4/5 on TAPet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking(Nikko?)
AaronJB Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 The Nikko has been seen with this amenity set previously, so that would be my guess in this case.

ladybugsea Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 How about this one (for 3 people):4* USE $201 85% recommended, 4.5 on TAFree Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access
yellowdog Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Best guess would be Galleria Park.

ladybugsea Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Posted June 23, 2015 How about this one? USE 3.5* $191 85%, 4.5 on TAFree Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services
thereuare Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 A new amenity set for the Hotel Rex would be my best guess for this one. (even if not, viewing this property from the EASY VIEW tab at BiddingHelper.com shows this property has a 4.5/5.0 TA rating, so it should be a very nice and positive experince) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

ladybugsea Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks, I have a double room at the Hotel Rex reserved as my back up for $229.
ladybugsea Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Posted July 2, 2015 Please help ID, I am thinking it is the Scarlet Huntington? 4.5* USW $187, 95% recommendedIndoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, In-room accessibility In the trip summary under 'room type,' there is a light blue link that says 'free cancellation,' but further down in the booking notes is says 'all bookings are final.' I have never noticed the free cancelation link before, is this just a mistake? Also the total price increased about $10 while I was looking at it, but the per night price did not change. Why would that happen?
yellowdog Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Yes, a guess would be Scarlet Huntington. But please note. The "last person got ..." message shown by HOTWIRE is in reference to the last person who won a hotel in that zone at that star rating... it doesn't apply to the amenity set of the current offer nor does it say anything about the current hotel offered. I have never noticed the free cancelation link before, is this just a mistake?No, HOTWIRE is trying this option on a trial basis for some hotels. Also the total price increased about $10 while I was looking at it, but the per night price did not change. Why would that happen?I don't have good answer for that... are you sure you didn't click the trip insurance button? Thank you for keeping us updated with what you decide.

ladybugsea Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Posted July 2, 2015 Thanks, yes I understand 'the last person got' has nothing to do with the amenities of the property I am looking at. I'm pretty sure I didn't click the insurance button. The property has now gone up to $283 over the night. :( I was on the fence about booking because the Scarlet Huntington doesn't allow children under 16 in the pool (will be a big disappointment to my almost 11 year old!), but it was such a good deal. One thing I have learned is that a pool amenity in San Francisco does not necessarily mean it will be free or that your family will be allowed to use it. So that deal WAS cancelable? Interesting, wish I had booked it before waiting for your best guess! Will keep watching and update what I end up getting.
thereuare Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 You can also use our RateDrop service to help you monitor rates for these dates in case the 4* hotel in this zone should drop in price (or monitor any other star rating and zones you're interested in) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

ladybugsea Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Posted July 2, 2015 Thanks, I didn't know about RateDrop, just set some. Glad to see this!

AaronJB Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Are you still seeing this listing? I'm not seeing a 4* in this zone when searching for these dates with 2a/1c. Please keep us updated with what you decide. Also, are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel?

ladybugsea Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Yes, I still see this listing. Not looking for anything in particular, have just missed out on the prices under $200 because they disappear so fast, and I like to get your best guess first. I have a cancelable backup for $229 so want to do better than that, and the Hotwire recovery fees bump the total price up a little bit.
AaronJB Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I'm seeing the 4* USW now when searching. I'd guess this may be the Marker with a slightly different amenity set.

ladybugsea Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Posted July 25, 2015 Okay last time! $187 4.5* USE Boutique Hotel 90% rec, 4.5 TAPet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower I'm guessing this is the Palomar. My issue is I'm nervous of getting a room with one bed (this happened when I last used Hotwire in April). On the Palomar website, they only have a king room, and I called and they said a king will NOT accommodate 3, there is no room for a rollaway.
yellowdog Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 Yes, my guess would also be Palomar. My issue is I'm nervous of getting a room with one bedI remember your NYC incident. But I have to say it's rare that we hear about problems like that. And you shouldn't let that get in your way to use HOTWIRE. On the Palomar website, they only have a king room, and I called and they said a king will NOT accommodate 3, there is no room for a rollaway.My guess is that they will move guests from a room with 2 queens to king room if they get a booking like yours Let us know what you decide.

ladybugsea Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Posted November 25, 2015 Sorry for taking for long to close out the post. We ended up not using Hotwire, and used the backup booking I had made at Hotel Rex for $225 for two doubles. We had a great time in SF! thank you for your help!
