Priceline Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Airport SFO) Staybridge Suites

[blindman]

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 Bruno

Free breakfast and free shuttle. Exactly what I was hoping for!

Your Offer Price: $45.00

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Subtotal: $45.00

Taxes and Service Fees: $14.12

Total Charges*: $59.12

Cheapest non-refundable web-site rate was $140.00

I used the PRICELINE link to start the bid.

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!
