My travel dates are June17-18, 2016 and I did the Priceline 4star express deal for $179 and got SF Marriott Hotel Marquis in SOMA. I don't know about the amenities.

 

My question is this: Do all/most Express Bids and NYOP default to chains like Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott?

 

I did the express bid on the SOMA area because there are so many independent hotels. While I am aware that I agreed to not know the hotel, I was disappointed that (yet again) I was awarded a chain. (I might've felt different if I was paying $110, as listed for this hotels NYOP on this site.) This is the 6th or 7th time I've gone through priceline and been awarded a chain. So why do I do express bid?;)Well, because of the times I was awarded independent hotels, they were amazing (4 or 5 star) and I guess I hold on to hope to get deals like that again. I don't travel very often, maybe 4-5 times a year, so when I get away, I really love an amazing hotel above all else. I am stuck with this hotel now, and am just wondering if it was beginners luck that placed me in awesome hotels in the past, or if there's something I can do?

 

Also, I know that NYOP there is no changing or cancelling, but is it as strict for Express Deals? Thanks for your input and advice!:)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

 

Sorry to hear this wasn't the style of hotel that you were looking for in a hotel for this trip, but given that this property is currently selling for over $300 for this nite i think you received a very nice deal.  The chains are not always the ones that are awarded, it all comes down to what type of hotels are in a given area, as well as supply/demand and how willing each hotel is willing to offer a deeply discounted rate for the nite(s).

 

In the future feel free to ask the board for help before your purchase as we can usually take a good guess as to what it is that is being offered and try to steer you towards something that is more inline as to what you're looking for.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
