Welcome to BetterBidding!

Just to confirm, is the USW zone the only area you're willing to stay? Many are fine with any of the 'downtown zones in this aea (USE, USW, Embarcadero, SOMA) and including more zones gives more hotels the opportunity to accept your bid price (and results in a better price)

Of course you know your plans and needs for this trip better than we do so perhaps there is a reason to only bid USW, but figured i'd ask before suggesting a strategy to follow.

Thank you so much for the help!

However, I have decided to put off making my bids since I still have some time before the trip. I was really hoping to get the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental, and now (thanks to the board) I see that most people are getting the Hilton or Hotel Nikko.

Again, thanks for the help, and I'll let you know what happens.
