OlgaLA Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hey Everyone...Since the BART's potential strke was this Monday I thought I might delay my trip...Ended up booking on Monday afternoon..tried PRICELINE$80 Embarcadero bid rejectedadded USW (took bid down to $65 to aim for Hilton) bid rejected..Not wanting to deal with PRICELINE I went huntingWent to Parc 55 site and found a non-refundable special $102 king non-view that with taxes was 123 a night. I parked at BART station and drove into city via BARTWhen I checked in at 12pm I asked if they had a view upgrade (for free). they did and just asking took me from 12 floor to 23 floor. Being pleasant with a smile helps...I have stayed here before...Hilton and Hotel Nikko are one block west and south which takes you more into Tenderloin. This hotel is super close to BART, one block from Cable Car/Union Square. Comfy Bed, Big Bathrooms...stayed here Jan 08 and it is a little gem. 1000 room hotel that does not feel it. They did do a new remodel which makes it a tad more polished. Great for a single person (or female) on their own. Union Sqaure has lots of homeless but so do other parts of the city.After seeing the location of the Hilton and Nikko both HUGE hotels that feel it..I was VERY happy I spent the extra 20 for the Parc 55Cheers, O Link to comment
