acchang4 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi, I'll be in San Francisco, arriving Friday, Nov. 13 departing Monday, Nov. 16 and am looking for a nice place to stay with my girlfriend for three nights.I consulted this Web site when I made the trip last year, and wound up bidding a little more on Priceline than I would have paid on Hotwire!So, I was hoping you guys can help me formulate a bidding strategy. I'm looking for a place that's at least 3 stars and at most $100/night -- the more stars and cheaper the better!Last time, we stayed in the Hilton in USW/Nob Hill for $100. I could live with that deal again, but I'd also like to try something different.The areas that I could live with:Civic CenterFinancial DistrictFisherman's WharfMarinaSOMA-Moscone CenterUnion Square EastUnion Square West - Nob HillOne consideration is that we have a 6a flight on Monday morning. I suppose proximity to BART won't be an issue, since we won't be taking it that early anyway...Thanks very much! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm looking for a place that's at least 3 stars and at most $100/night -- the more stars and cheaper the better!Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel (did you want to try for a 4* up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5*, then if rejected try for a 3*) OR is your objective the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
