Been trying for awhile to get a hotel in San Francisco - previous posts have been most helpful, so keep them coming :) . Bid history as follows: 3* USE $40 - rejected Added Cathedral Hill $45 - rejected Added USW $48 - rejected Added Civic Centre $50 - rejected Added Fisherman's wharf $52 - accepted!! I realise the Holiday Inn won't be anything special, but judging by reviews, at $52 a night it's not bad value - better than the poor sods who paid $125 a night on trip advisor! Thanks again
