Priceline Hotel: 3* San Francisco (San Mateo) Courtyard San Mateo Foster City

[miruca]

Recently bid and won 2.5* Courtyard Marriott in San Mateo (San Francisco) which turned out to be Foster City - a good distance from the airport. Turns out the hotel did not have an airport shuttle on the weekends.

It was going to cost almost $70 RT by cab or even more with a rental car to get there (I was in the airport at the time and someone did the bid remotely for me). I ended up having my friend get a room close to the hotel and with an airport shuttle from Hotwire for the same $70.

Just wanted to provide this as a heads up to people. I won't be including the San Mateo area in my future bids near the San Francisco airport.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and the 'warning' regarding the lack of weekend shuttle service... we have added a comment next to this property in the Priceline Hotel List.

Can you please add the winning bid amount and the dates of this stay so that we can add this information to the topic title and enable this thread to appear in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins.

Thanks.

I should note that the Hotwire hotel for 10.11.08 was a 3* Clarion in Millbrae for $71
