Thanks to all who responded to my query about Union Sq vs. Marina district for place to stay in San Fransisco. I am leaning towards the Marina area. Wonder if people have had better luck with internet booking on things like hotelres.com etc or going directly to the hotel to try and get a good rate? I am leary of priceline.. want to know what I'm getting.

compare for yourself, check the prices on the hotel website, call the hotel directly (and always ask about specials, AAA discounts, etc., they rarely volunteer this kind of info) and check some online booking services for prices. Go with the best deal.

I use Priceline all the time, as do many of my friends. I stayed at the Radisson in Fisherman's Wharf (across from Pier 39) for $45 a night and one of my friends stayed at the St. Francis in Times Square on Easter weekend for $65 a night. I recommend you don't go below a three star hotel. The three stars I have gotten from Priceline have been Radisson, Hyatt and Hilton.

I've had very good experience with hotelres.com. Rates beat other sources and their service was fine.

At boulevards.com they have a hotel search that comes up with some decent rates at times, and you know just what hotel you're getting.

www.quikbook.com is always worth checking, along with the others.

I have been looking into using Priceline for a hotel. There is a site called BiddingForTravel that is a great resource for learning which hotels in an area have been attained and for what bid through Priceline.

Hotwire.com has some really great prices! $72/night for a 4 star hotel in downtown!
