binarynut Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'm planning 5/13 - 5/18. I get a $93 offer ($83 with the 24 hour sale they emailed me). Its in Japantown - Civic Center North, 3*:Complimentary BreakfastFitness CenterBusiness Center Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access Recommended in 60% of customer reviewsI'm thinking Holiday Inn, Opal, or Cova? I'm not sure the Cova has been in long enough to have enough entries for customer reviews. I sure wish they hadn't closed the Cathedral Hill Hotel! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Opal Hotel has previous been reported with this amenity combination so that would be my best guess for this one.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

binarynut Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks for your help, I decided it was too early for this price. I made a backup reservation at a Rodeway Inn while I wait and hope for some lower prices as the date approaches. I tried some PRICELINE bids but nothing comes up for the same price yet.

Colfax Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Unless there's a big convention in town $83 seems high for this zone. Are you only wanting to stay at the Opal? You can usually win a 3* or 2.5* in Priceline's Civic Center zone for under $50, maybe under $45. Might or might not get Opal. Link to comment
binarynut Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 The Bay to Breakers is that weekend. I know the price is a lot higher for Friday and Saturday nights than the nights preceding and following. There are 4800 for Citrix and then 11000 expected for the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, but that's not a really high number for SF. I agree with you, the price is high. I've decided to wait it out and see if the prices fall. It doesn't have to be the Opal, my preference is for the Civic Center / Van Ness area, but SOMA is fine also. I have over three months to submit lowball bids and hope something opens up! Link to comment
