Priceline Hotel: 2.5* San Francisco (USW-Nob Hill) Best Western California

[kirikara]

Hi,

I just thought I would post my bidding history to see if I can get some advice since we are leaving in less than a week now..

Started at $48 with Union square west/nob hill 4 stars,added USE, added 3 1/2 stars, added 3 stars upped my bid to $51

Since then I have rebid at $54 and $58.

I would rather get a good cheap hotel than keep going up. My husband is staying for work the rest of the week at the Palomar which is right now on sale for $119 which is why I dont want to go up much more because staying at the palomar would bring convenience..

I saw the chancellor (2.5*) was won for $55 that would be fine. I called and they still have rooms available.

I am wondering if there is any way I can start over with a new bid...?

I have 2 accounts but they consider them the same anyway even though it is different cc and emails..

Any advice on a better strategy?

Your topic line says you want a hotel in USW or USE but your post only mentions bidding in USW.

Were you rejected to $58 for 3* in both USE and USW?

oops sorry edited my post. Adding USe was the first step i took after being rejected for the first time.

Hi thanks for your help

I would have been way more patient if we were not leaving in 4 days but I was getting anxious because I did not book any back up yet and was about to book the Palomar for $119 a night.

This was kind of a last shot.

Bid was accepted anyway and to my surprise i got the BEST western the california for $54.

I am actually very happy with this hotel too.

it has the wifi i wanted and free wine and cheese hour too :)

I started bidding at $54 because a previous bidder (who had won the chancellor at $55) bid at $50 and got rejected.

I am thinking I probably could have got the hotel at a lower price but I am glad it is done.

Thanks for your help, I will definitely use that strategey next time. We are planning another trip to Miami.

I hope I used the right link: I used the search box at the top and was hoping you would get credit from that box as well.

Hi,

Could anyone advise how to change the title since I won the Best western the California for $54?

Thanks!

One of the moderators will update the subject line, kirakara.

Can you confirm that you won the Best Western California as a 2.5* in the USW zone? This is a new hotel for the Hotel List.

Best rate is $119 on Best Western's website so you got a nice deal. The website says guests get a frosted tequila shot at checkin and free wine and cheese in the evening. It sounds like the Best Western wants its guests tipsy!

:)

Enjoy your stay.
