Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (USW) Hilton San Francisco

[ajwo]

Used your service and PRICELINE link for 2 previous wins-thank you!

This time, started bidding @ $75, for USE 4*.

Added $, Civic Ctr/Fish.Wharf and finally USW.

Bid for 2 rooms accepted @$87/room: Hilton San Francisco (on O'Farrell).

I was offered a chance to extend stay. I then requested an add-on night but was rejected.

Oh well...

Thanks again!

Congratulations on your win!

Glad to see you're happy with the results and the deal you received.

While this looks like a very good rate, you may have been able to do even a little better, since USW was the last zone you added to your bidding. Feel free to ask for a bidding strategy, or confirm your own gameplan, before bidding for your next stay.

Thanks for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your trip.

Yea- I was really trying to get the Westin (USE)again. My reasoning (though one could figure many bidding scenarios...) was that I'd rather get the Westin at a higher value($85) than get the quick acceptance of Hilton(or other USW) @$75 ( I was seeing low dollar value acceptances at USW in the wins thread but none for USE). For me, I would pay $10 more to have the chance of getting the Westin (right on Union Square)- we had a nice stay there a few months back where they upgraded to large rooms for an extra $20 or so (well worth it). My family and I enjoyed it so much more there than the Hilton or other USW 4* hotels we've stayed at in the past. Took a gamble...paid probably $10 more for it. Oh well...

I definitely could see someone bidding more prudently and selecting USW much sooner (at a lower dollar value) but I really can't complain about $85 in the city. Before I discovered BetterBidding/Priceline, I would have never been contemplating a stay in a nice 4star-type hotel in SF for under $100. Now, I've come to expect it!

I'm sure you were not asking for add'l info on this win (I'm sure "youare" busy enough), but I do thank you for the add'l info-will keep it in mind next bidding...
