Hotel hasn't been identified yet. I tried matching it against Vacation Package hotels and couldn't find a match.

Probably you can win a 4* on Priceline for less than $120, maybe less than $100, if you wait a few weeks.

edited to add: You also have a requirement for two beds. Maybe HOTWIRE is the way to go then, as Priceline only guarantees double occupancy.

Do you need a 4* hotel or is this simply 'all that is shown' on HOTWIRE?

EasyClickTravel has some 3* hotels which are in the $100-$150 range (almost all are cancellable, so may be a good back-up while you continue to search). You can use our Off The Record Reverse Look-up Tool for the 'opaque' properties.

Another option if you're serioulsy considering the above is to try Priceline for two rooms... which may end up being about the same price as the above (this assumes your kids are of age to be in a room by themselves and/or you and the other adult are willing to potentially sleep in separate rooms, one with each child)

This new 4.5 Hotwire entrant has been bugging me for better than a week. I hate unsolved mysteries. But after a little research, I'd bet money this is the Palace Hotel (Starwood Luxury Collection). There simply aren't many hotels left in this zone that aren't already Hotwire participants and would merit the 4.5 rating and have the amenities listed. Incidentally, Hotwire's vacation package product doesn't indicate that any of the current 4 star hotels have been upgraded to 4.5, so we can forget that possibility.

As Bay Area locals we make overnight leisure trips to SF often. I'm tempted to purchase this property, as I'm seeing it priced in the $120 range for weekend/holiday dates. However, if it's the Palace Hotel, I'm a bit leery as the Trip Advisor reviews are quite mixed.

Colfax makes a good point, however, in that Hotwire will guarantee you two beds if you plug 2 adults 2 children into your search.

Beav, you are correct. It is the Palace Hotel as per my Hotwire Purchase.
