Colfax Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 This was bid the day before. I planned to buy the Whitcomb Hotel on Hotwire for $62. Whitcomb showed available in the morning but when I went back in to purchase in the evening it was gone. No problem, as the Holiday Inn works for me too.Holiday Inn Golden Gateway1500 Van Ness AvenueSan Francisco, CA 94109Before bidding Civic Center zone I tried up to $60 for 3* in the other four Downtown zones---USW, USE, SOMA, and Embarcadero. All rejected.$55 for 2.5* in Civic Center was rejected, and $60 accepted with an upgrade to 3*.Holiday Inn's regular rate was $131 for a regular room and $159 for a "Grand View Room", which I was given without making a request, on the 17th floor out of 26. East facing views from high floors are awesome, overlooking all Downtown and the Bay. The hotel's lobby and public spaces are small and spartan for a hotel of this size. Many small restaurants of all types, including Afghan and Portuguese, within 2 blocks of the hotel. Self service parking is $34/night in the hotel ramp. Unlimited in and out privileges and you can keep your car parked until 4pm after a noon checkout, which is a great convenience. High speed internet is free, but the signal was weak.Bids were placed through the BetterBidding PRICELINE link.
