HenryCorgi Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I am thinking of 3 night in San Francisco. Many good prices on the board for 3.5 fishermans wharf, but not on a holiday. Start bid? Link to comment
HenryCorgi Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I tried using the free bid system as I understand it, I started at 45 dollars/night 3.5 star fishermans Wharf onlyThen went through 4 more free offers of 50,55,60,65Adding civic center,Marina,Sfo North and south SF. No winIts a holiday weekend. Should I start at 55 next time? Link to comment

AaronJB Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 What would be the desired max bid/budget per night? Link to comment
Colfax Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hotwire has a 3.5* in FW for $89.Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, HighspeedThis matches previous reports for the Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf.PRICELINE usually beats HOTWIRE on price so you can probably get a 3.5* on Priceline somewhere between $65 and $89 now. I'll guess around $70-$80.Or you can wait a few weeks and try $65 again. Link to comment
HenryCorgi Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I bid up to 65 dollars for this Memorial day weekend on a 3.5 star Fishermans Wharf and was rejected Yesterday.I read a post where someone got a 3 star for 60 dollars/night, Best Western Tuscan Inn Fishermans Wharf.That was mid May on a weekend. I though that's a good start.I bid 60 dollars 3* fishermans wharf and was accepted first try at the Best WesternBest rate Hotwhire 3* Fishermans Wharf- $89/night (same dates)Retail rate on these dates, hotel site- 200/night (same dates)Subtotal 180Taxes/fees 37.2total 217.20I can't believe this 70% off!
