blindman Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Reading this Priceline Staybridge Suites SFO by Colfax (and seeing what looked like the Staybridge suites on HOTWIRE for $52) I duly tried an initial bid of $40 at the 2.5* level for SFO.The first bid produced a counter offer of adding $12 more.I added the Marina zone (only 2* highest) and bid $45.The result did not come straight away and I had to wait about 15 minutes for the email.My bid had been upgraded to a 3* and this was the Staybridge Suites at San BrunoFree breakfast and free shuttle. Exactly what I was hoping for!Your Offer Price: $45.00Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $45.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $14.12 Total Charges*: $59.12Cheapest non-refundable web-site rate was $140.00I used the PRICELINE link to start the bid.

Colfax Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Congratulations, blindman, and thanks for letting us know about the rating change. (The Staybridge still shows as 2.5* in the Hotel List.)The upgrade to 3* reduces the likelihood of winning the Staybridge on Priceline because it's now one of five 3* hotels in its zone. When it was 2.5* it was one of two hotels. Upgrades from 2.5* to the 3* Holiday Inn were pretty common too.My last two times at Staybridge they gave me a two-bedroom suite. The first time I arrived very late and two-bedroom suites were all that was left. The next time I arrived very early and two-bedroom suites were all that were clean!
