baxy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 This forum is great, thanks to the admins & all who post!I tried booking through Priceline and couldn't seem to find a deal on a hotel near SFO. I went to Hotwire and found a 4* for $79. I tried to use packages to find out which hotel it was, but the hotels didn't seem to fit.Finally, I used the tripadvisor.com ratings & number of posts and figured out that it was probably going to be Embassy Suites. Got the guts to book it and sure enough, it was! Subtotal - $79Taxes & fees - $16.77Total - $95.77On their website the "best available rate" is $179 and "advance purchase rate" is $119. So I guess we saved about $40!S.
