Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Civic Center South-Hayes Valley) Whitcomb

[Hhawaii]

I am looking at HOTWIRE from 12/7-12/9. 4 Star hotel. $79 per night

The amenities are shuttle, fitness, pool, restaurant, business center, internet, and close to golf course.

Any ideas of which hotel this is? Thanks.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Can you please go back to HOTWIRE and doublecheck the star rating.. i'm seeing a 4* hotel with different amenities than the above, but am seeing a 3.5* hotel in this zone with these amenities.

If you're still seeing a 4* property with the amenities above, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

I was searching everything with only 1 adult (myself). When I do the same search, but leave the default 2 adults, I get what seems to be the Embassy Suites with 11 amenities at $79, 4 stars. Suite, golf, laundry, pool, fitness, breakfast, etc.

Why does HOTWIRE not give me the suite hotel when I put only 1 adult, even though it is a customer favorite?

Will I get into trouble if I book the 2 adult hotel (suite), even though I will be staying there alone?

Generaly speaking, HOTWIRE only shows the least expensive hotel at each star level in a given zone. However, when rates are within a certain amount of each other (say $5-$10), which appears to be the case here, then the hotels are rotated as to which shows on a given search (or some additional criteria is applied). It's possible the other hotel has a particular room which will only accomoate 1 person, or that the original hotel is given preference for single occupancy and the Suite hotel is given preference for 2+ occupancy, or that if we did enough searches we would begin to see the original hotel appear for single occupancy searches as well.

Will I get into trouble if I book the 2 adult hotel (suite), even though I will be staying there alone?

No problem at all... it's only an issue if it ends up being the other way around; you have more guests thank you declare on your search. You can always book for more guests than you'll actually be (this is often done on HOTWIRE, booking triple/quad occupancy, to ensure 2 beds, which can't be guaranteed via PRICELINE)

Will what is believed to be the Embassy Suite work well for your needs?

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I took too long to book and the 4 star went away. I used the HOTWIRE link to just book a 3 star in Hayes Valley S.F. (Whitcomb), its right next to my job interview anyway. Thanks for your help. Without this site Hotwire is a very spooky place.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Sounds like this will work out well for your needs and hopefully you're happy with the outcome.

Can you please add the price paid (per nite before fees and taxes) and the amenities shown before your purchase as a reply to this thread... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.

Thanks for sharing your purchase with the board and using our HOTWIRE link.

Enjoy your stay and good luck on the interview.
