Priceline Hotel: 3* San Francisco (USE) Club Quarters

[GoingCA]

Have been bidding as high as $142 for 4* in USE/USW - so far all rejected. Bid using the PRICELINE here.

Wondering how much higher I have to go.

Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.

Rates are somewhat high for your dates... although a few hotels are 'inline' at mid-$200's, many are $350-$400+.

With 2 months to go before your stay i wouldn't chase this and would find a suitable back-up. Use our BetterChecker and/or Quickbook for help in finding a suitable hotel to use for a back-up (the Marriott, please use the search at BetterChecker) is 'just' $249/nite and that seemed decent compared to other rates i was seeing elsewhere (the Westin had a $223/nite rate but that was non-cancellable)... then continue to try PRICELINE and HOTWIRE twice a week or so for the next 2-3 weeks, then increase to every other day until 3 weeks before your stay at which point it gets a bit more 'serious'.

If you're not comfortable with a $200+ back-up hotel and want to book something, i do think you have a good chance at amounts you have already bid if you're willing to drop a star level... although i wouldn't necessarily recommend this 2 months before your arrival.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.

Took the advice to go down to 3*, and bid for USE using Civic and Lombard as free bid zone.

first bid $115 - USE and Civic - rejected

second bid $125 - added Lombard - successful for Club Quarters

Not too sure about this property as it gets mixed reviews at Tripadvisor.

Good thing is that I got my hotel bookings done for my SF and LA trips, so now can focus on planning the rest of stuff.

Thanks for the advice and I used the PRICELINE link here.

Congratulations on your win!

Glad to see your success at levels lower than you previously bid and that your plans are now settled and you can now focus on other aspects of your trip. (there is a 5% off coupon at our sister site Things To Do 411.com which expires at the end of the month, if anything there interests you)

I think the consensus on the Club Quarters is that it's clean and basic... nothing to write home about but if effectively gets the job done.

Thank you for sharing your win wiht the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

I've stayed at Club Quarters. Rooms are small but design is good. There is coffee and sometimes cookies in the business lounge in the morning. Don't forget to look or ask about them. And location is central, but fairly quiet at night as it's basically the Financial District.

Congrats....

As Gallus mentioned, Club Quarters rooms are very small, the hotel doesn't offer much however its walkable from Embarcadero and its a pretty peaceful place to walk at night.

Room are small but clean with nice beds.

I would recommend it!

Thank you all for the information on CQ. It's quite assuring and sets the expectation right for this property.

And hopefully we'll be too tired from sightseeing to notice anything 'negative' about the room.
