Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Jose (Newark-Fremont) Hilton Newark

[Fragmire]

This is the second part of my previous topic (4* San Jose (Sunnyvale-Santa Clara) Hilton Santa Clara). I'm trying to get another 4* in the San Jose area, and am not yet willing to drop to a 3*.

Check-In: Mon, May 15, 2006

Check-Out: Thu, May 18, 2006

I tried almost all zones in the region (all except Redwood City and Palo Alto -- they're too far west for my needs, esp in the morning traffic) at up to $100, but so far without luck.

Update: I just tried $125 for the Santa Clara zone, but still no luck.

I just checked Hotwire (never used it before), and it's returning $172 for a 4* in Santa Clara, which basically translates to Hilton of Santa Clara since that's the only 4* in the area AFAIK. I would prefer to wait a little longer before paying that much.

Update: I just tried $125 for all zones except San Jose and Cupertino, but still without luck. I think I'll start researching for 3* as a fallback.

I finally gave up after my $170 bid was rejected for 4* in San Jose (all zones except Cupertino and San Jose). I ended up getting the following through Hotwire (admin please move this topic to the Hotwire forum, if appropriate):

Hotel Name: Hilton Newark / Fremont (3*)

Zone: Newark - Fremont

Date: 05/15/2006 ~ 05/18/2006
