photomikey Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Bid $60, Re-bid @ $65, $70, and $75. Denied.Will pick up at $80 tomorrow.
thereuare Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 If the Fisherman's Wharf zone works best for your plans then i would continue to bid it higher, but if you start to reach a point where you feel prices are getting too high, you may want to consider the Downtown zones as rates there have been fairly low recently, and do to a greater number of hotels, and competition, you may find a good/better deal there (assuming this works as well for your needs)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Keep us udpated.

photomikey Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 Again used your PRICELINE link to begin my bidding.Bid $80, $85 and $90. Will retreat for a week and start at $60 again a few days before departure. I appreciate your advice on Downtown - I had considered it before, and will certainly resort to that if I'm up to the $90 level without success again next week.
thereuare Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks for the update... good luck next week and let us know if we can be of any help along the way. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Colfax Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Is 3* in Fisherman's Wharf an option? The 3* Holiday Inn and 3* Best Western Tuscan are very near the 3.5* hotels and both get pretty good reviews. The Tuscan Inn is actually a Kimpton boutique property. If you try the 3* route I suggest starting around $60. Good luck!
photomikey Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 I would absolutely consider a 3*, but that only gives me (IIRC) 1 re-bid zone. I'll give it a try, if it comes to that!
thereuare Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Yes, only one re-bid zone at the 3* level.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
