Priceline Hotel: HELP - 4* San Francisco (USW)

[The Si]

I am attending a conference at the Hilton San Francisco from 8/13/09 - 8/16/09. I need to book a room for those days, and it must be at the Hilton San Francisco. What is the probability of getting the Hilton San Francisco if I choose 4* in the USW area?

Welcome to the site. If you must stay at a specific hotel, PRICELINE is not a good idea, as there's a definite chance you could wind up at a different hotel. HOTWIRE is a better choice, but that's not 100% guaranteed, either.

In terms of booking regular rate, Orbitz.com has this deal:

"**Orbitz SPECIAL OFFER**

Through 5/31, book any hotel in San Francisco and receive a FREE $50 gift certificate from Restaurant.com (Select a hotel and add FREE offer on the add Attractions & Services page).

See area descriptions"

Please use the site's Orbitz.com link if you decide to go this route.

Before I could suggest the Orbitz deal, my manager went ahead and booked the room straight through Hilton.

Thank you for your help.
