I first bid a 4* in USW and USE at 80----denied then i added SOMA and upped it to 90-----denied i then added Embarcadero/Financial and upped it to 100----denied so i started looking for alternatives on hotwire....nothing for the price i wanted i then checked lastminutetravel.com....success! i find a 4.5* (their own star system) for 95 a night (plus taxes and fees) in the Union Square/SOMA/Financial District with basic amenities....BUT when i look into the details of the hotel they tell me that the hotel is close to the curren theater downtown and has 16 floors and 372 guestrooms...so i google this information and find out that only the Clift Hotel has these specs. I go to the Clift site and find the Hotel incredible! Base rate for the dates i wanted was 325 a night!! So i book the hotel thru lastminutetravel.com and sure enough the Clift is the hotel i am awarded. If this info is any help to you then i'm happy to help.....but i would have to say that the bottom line and most important part of the story is to not only look at priceline and hotwire....there is always a deal....its all about how hard you look. happy hunting :)
Im trying to go to SF for my gf's birthday and was wondering if getting a 4* hotel in USW, USE, SOMA area would be possible for 100/night after taxes and fees (<$80 bid)? travel dates are midweek 12/13-12/15.
