CrankiestOne Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I'm looking for a hotel for the end of our week in the SF area (got the first three days via Hotwire). I don't see any sexy rates on Hotwire for the 31st and 1st, and am considering* a PL bid. Online rates at the hotels listed as PL 4* are:Renaissance Parc 55--$170 AAA, $179 regularRenaissance Stanford--$135 AAA, $149 regularHilton San Fran--$151 regular (AAA not available)Prescott--$177 regular*I say "considering" because I am not thrilled with Hilton's location; however, if I'm saving $100/night for my two rooms, the location isn't that bad. We are staying at Pan Pacific the first part of the week, at $89/night/room (see the SF/Hotwire posting). Given all this, would you be so kind as to provide a bidding strategy??Many, many thanks. As a travel-deal junkie, I love this site! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 You have 5 re-bid zones when biddig 4* in the USW area... if you're not sure of your re-bid zones feel free to ask or confirm them with the board.You didn't give a maximum bid, but rates for your dates don't look too bad and i chose a maximum of $80, if this is outside your expected range post back and we'll adjust accordingly.Select 4* USW...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $80I left out one re-bid zone because i think you'll be successful with the above, but if not it still gives you a chance to bid again immediately with an updated strategy (after you report that it failed).Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

CrankiestOne Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Went with Hotwire:Amenities: restaurant, fitness center and business center2 room(s) @ $111.00 per night x 2 night(s) $444.00 Taxes and fees: $68.95 Hotel Subtotal $512.95 In light of recent postings regarding hotel strikers, I called the PP. It is a non-union hotel, therefore not affected by strikers. The rep tells me the strikes are over, but there is talk of new strikes beginning. I will post a review upon return. Thereuare, you rock my world....many thanks again for the site. Next stop, Monterey...keep ya posted!! Link to comment
