neonrose Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 Check-In Date: Wednesday, October 8, 2008Check-Out Date: Sunday, October 12, 2008Hotel Name: Four Points By Sheraton San Rafael1010 Northgate DriveSan Rafael, California 94903415-479-8800Your Offer Price: $75.00Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 4Subtotal: $300.00Taxes and Service Fees: $46.17Total Charges*: $346.17POSSIBLE OVERBID ALERT: My memory is quite certain that I unsuccessfully bid up to $69 (for the same dates, stars, and location) a few days ago, but my Priceline emails only indicate that I bid up to $50, so I'm not positive. You've got a free rebid in Novato, so I don't recommend starting as high as $75.Rates on Sheraton 4 Points website are:$105 AARP$108 prepaid non-refundable$138 AAA (or $99 AAA rate if you choose "Promotions and Packages" instead of "Automobile Association")$145 regular "best rate"$250 if you don't check around for anything better.Kinda disappointed that my offer was accepted. I knew that if it was accepted, it would probably be this low-rated Four Points which is the only known result at Priceline. But my next step when Priceline rejected this offer was going to be to pay $86 for the 3-star on Hotwire which, although it would probably still be the Four Points, had historical precedent for being the Embassy Suites instead. I figured if it did turn out to be the Embassy Suites, I'd be doing the forum a favor by discovering whether this Embassy Suites was still using Hotwire (it's been over a year since anyone reported it) and whether they'd added "High Speed Internet" to their icons and hence were now indistinguishable from 4 Points. Plus I'd get a much yummier hotel. But I chickened out on taking the Hotwire offer before one last try on Priceline at a lower price, and I got the Priceline one.Anyway, since I travel to that area regularly, I'll be glad to finally see for myself what the 4 Points is like, with all its conflicting ratings on various sites.I used the PRICELINE link.
