jadkins05 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 Hi Everyone, I just came across this website - love the concept. I'm planning a trip to San Francisco and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on some killer deals? I've been looking through the Bidding Helper... What I'm looking for: Dates: 8/16 - 8/21 or 8/18 - 8/21 (Looks like 16/17 are really expensive, I have a friends and family rate for a holiday inn express union square for $203/night.) Hotel: Looking for modern / contemporary upscale boutique feel or chain such as: *The Alise San Francisco (Other options may include: Grand Hyatt, W San Francisco, Intercontinental San Francisco) Price Point: Around $199, may go up to $249 for something similar to The Alise San Francisco (including the "amenity" fee everyone seems to be adding in). Star Rating: 4/5 (although some boutique 3/3.5 seem to be very nice...) Zone: Open to anything around union square or the piers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thereuare Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 Welcome to BetterBidding... we're glad you found us! Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. Once you win a hotel, use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the upper right corner of the page to edit the topic title to reflect your win and to provide the details of your purchase. This helps keep the board better organized by reducing the number of unresolved threads that don't have any follow-up or conclusion. To get started... do you want to split your stay between two different hotels (or would you just turn this trip into a 3 nite trip instead of a 5 nite trip if rates are too high for the first 2 nites) as i'm seeing things within your budget for the complete stay (8/16-8/21): 4* HOTWIRE Union Square East for $172.00 Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Business Hi-Speed Internet Room Accessible ==> best guess would be the Villa Florence San Francisco on Union Square 4* HOTWIRE Union Square East for $198.00 Pet Friendly Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf ==> InterContinental Mark Hopkins would be my best guess here 4* HOTWIRE Union Square West for $204.00 Boutique Smoke Free Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet ==> Warwick San Francisco OR thru PRICELINE EXPRESS (confirm your dates on the landing page of the links provided below): 4* Union Square East - Nob Hill for $201 (less with the promo in my signature) Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel Do any of these work for your needs this trip? Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know your thoughts (or how it goes if you take any of the above) and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
jadkins05 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Posted August 8, 2017 Hello, I appreciate the response! Although it's the same stay, I separated the post based off Price Line & Hot-wire as they are 2 separate sub sections on the forum. I guess that's a little confusing! I'd either split between 2 hotels or stay in 1 hotel from 8/16 - 8/21. Looking for one of the more clean / updated hotels. Mark Hopkins, Warwick, Kimpton are all aged and don't have the modern / boutique feel to them.
thereuare Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 You can keep all posts for this trip in this thread (since it will automatically be moved to the correct section of the board once it's reported as a 'win'). If you ultimately purchase a sub-set of your full date range, at that point we will start a NEW TOPIC for the remaining nites. For your sub-set dates of 8/18-8/21 i'm seeing the following along with our best guess for each (confirm your dates on the landing page of any links provided below): 4.5* South of Market - Moscone Center for $187 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Intercontinental San Francisco 4.5* Financial District - Embarcadero for $225 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Omni San Francisco Hotel 5* South of Market - Moscone Center for $246 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Palace Hotel, A Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco 4.5* Union Square East - Nob Hill for $247 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Taj Campton Place ... or from HOTWIRE: 4* South of Market - Moscone Center for $198.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> W San Francisco 4* Union Square West for $203.00 Boutique Smoke Free Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet ==> Warwick San Francisco 4.5* Union Square West for $214.00 Free Internet Boutique Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Spa Room Accessible ==> from the Hotwire Hotel List matches The Scarlet Huntington Hotel 4* Union Square West for $231.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Travel Accessible Room Accessible ==> Staypineapple at The Alise San Francisco 4.5* Financial District - Embarcadero for $234.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible ==> Omni San Francisco Hotel Any of the above work for this leg of your stay? Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know what you decide and how it goes or how we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
jadkins05 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks for the help! I ended up getting the exact hotel that I wanted, at almost $100/off per night for the entire trip 8/16 - 8/21. Staypineapple at The Alise San Francisco via BetterBidding. Cheers
