Thanks for reporting your win.

Great price for the Grand Hyatt.

This is superb news, as the GH has not been pricing at 60 for some time now.

Thanks for posting, this will help a lot of us I am certain. :)

Golda495: can I make a guess? My guess is, you bid some time ago and just posted to BetterBidding now.

I just tried bidding a variety of July dates (including the 6, 7, 8, 16, 19, 20 and 21) and received either flat rejects or $17 counters (the latter, I would expect, would net the Marriott, or maybe the Westin SF).

Oh well, perhaps GH will load the 55's or 60's again sometime soon.

I actually bid this the night of June 22, 2004

Question:

Does anyone know if a hotel can set restrictions by which multiple nights would be allowed, but a single night at the same price would be declined (or would be priced higher)?

I sort of suspected this with the Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf, but then I changed my mind after receiving a few one-nighters.

[thereuare]

Yes it's possible.

In addition to multiple nites required (or discriminated against... as i've also seen hotels that only want short-stay guests) there can also be other restrictions like "no Saturday check-in".

Thanks for the info, thereuare.

We haven't seen any other $60 successes yet for July...so...I can only presume this is what is happening with the Grand Hyatt. For single night stays, we're still seeing hits at $75.
