ykh Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi! I'm looking for a reasonably cheap hotel to stay for one nite on this Friday (6/9/06). The ideal hotel would be the one that is close to most of the attractions. I 'm thinking about hilton at the fisherman wharf. My budget is less than 100 after tax. This is for two of us. Any suggestions?Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think most tourists choose the USE or USW zones with the FW as a choice after the other two... but not sure what attractions you're looking to see/do. You can use our PRICELINE MAPS to see what hotels/zones are near the attractions you want to do or see.Let us know the zones you want to bid and we'll suggest a strategy to follow. Also, let us know your maximum bid before taxes and fees. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
ykh Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 thereuare,Hi! I looked at the map and I think fisherman wharf, USE, USW will be fine.....3* is ok as long as the hotel is quiet and clean.well, we don't any particular attractions that we would like to check out, we try to hit as many as we can....a couple major ones that we sure want to check out like fisherman wharfs, union square, lombard street....so what do you suggest?My maximum bid would be $75 or so before the tax.Thanks again.

thereuare Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Would you be willing to increase your maximum bid to $85 as i think you have a good chance of getting a 4* hotel for that price or lower. Bidding the higher star level also gives you more re-bidding opportunities.Let us know if this is ok with your or if you'd prefer to only bid for a 3* hotel.

ykh Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Yea, $85 is fine with me. Please advise, thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 You have three re-bid zones when bidding 4* in San Francisco. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Fishermans Wharf...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USE...Bid $60, if rejected add Fishermans Wharf...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USW...Bid $60, if rejected add Fishermans Wharf...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USE and USW...Bid $75, if rejected add Fishermans Wharf...Bid $79, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $82, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

ykh Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 For 4* Fishermans Wharf...>Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...I will add south san francisco>Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone...I will then add civic center>Bid $60, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.I will then add catheral hill.If all of the above failed, I will try again and start with $65, $70, $75, is this correct?Thanks!

thereuare Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 You have your re-bid zones correct so you have the first cycle of bidding correct.However, if the first cycle only uses Fisherman's Wharf and your re-bid zones. If that fails, you don't simply 'start over'... you start over with the USW zone, then add the Wharf zone, then add your re-bid zones; if that fails you then start over with the USE zone, then add the Wharf zone, then add your re-bdi zones, etc, etcDoes this make it clearer now?I also realized i only did the above based on two re-bid zones, so here is an updated strategy:Select 4* Fishermans Wharf...Bid $54, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $56, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USE...Bid $60, if rejected add Fishermans Wharf...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $66, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $69, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USW...Bid $60, if rejected add Fishermans Wharf...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $66, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $69, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USE and USW and Fisherman's Wharf...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $79, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $82, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85.If any questions remain feel free to ask.

ykh Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Ok, I got Hyatt Regency in USE for $69 after several trials. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I think that is great... you got a higher star rating than you originally wanted and less than your original budget.Enjoy your stay.
