Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (USW) Renaissance Stanford Court

[djc9]

Hi, first time priceline bidder here, should I definitely split up the 4 rooms? I'm going to be with a large group.

With the new re-zoning I assume I should try something like this

USE

$80, rebid zone1

$90, rebid zone2

$100, rebid zone 3

re-access

USW

$80, rebid zone 1

$90, rebid zone2

$100, rebid zone3

re-access

Embarcedero

$80, rebid zone1

$90, rebid zone2

$100, rebid zone3

re-access

SOMA

$80, rebid zone1

$90, rebid zone2

$100, rebid zone3

re-access

USW+USE

$100, rebid zone1

$110, rebid zone2

$120, rebid zone 3

And then doing something like Embarcedero + SOMA and various other combinations of the 4 as necessary as I get the rejections.

Am I way off here? I haven't been having any luck so I'm thinking I'm a little too early and/or more likely I need to split the rooms from 4 to 1.

thanks in advance!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

You do have plenty of time between now and your stay, but rates are very high for this nite (just a one nite stay, correct?)... what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel thru conveiontal booking methods? (use our BetterChecker to assist in your rate search)

What is your maximum bid for this stay?

Right, just the night of 10/24. We are staying in Napa on 10/25 (another story).

I'd like to keep maximum bid at $120. Otherwise we're looking at standard booking in a minimal 2-star for about the same price like the Travel Lodge Golden Gate. The trip is for a birthday so if we can manage a priceline 4* deal that would be great. If it's not possible, then that's ok too but I wanted to try.

Conventional pricing of 4-stars in the area is not looking good. $400-500.

Thanks for offering to help, thereuare!

Success!

I followed your instructions and received the Renaissance Stanford Court in USW/Nob Hill for $115 which is perfect for what we need.

I'm going to do some digging to see what I can find for something around Napa downtown for the night of 10/25.

Thanks so much.
