We checked out of our first hotel and made our way to our last hotel. This is the one we paid for at Priceline.com and used betterbidding.com to do our research and purchased our room at an unbelievable price. We have tried using Priceline before but were never successful at getting a winning bid. We always wound up using Hotwire.com which is also another great site to get low prices. Anyways, the hotel we stayed at was a 4 star hotel near SFO called the Grand Hyatt. It has plenty of positive reviews.

We took the BART back down to the SFO and then took a courtesy shuttle to the hotel. When we checked in the check in person was very personable and extremely friendly. She answered all my questions. I wanted to upgrade our room to a jacuzzi suite but she said those weren’t available. However, she did upgrade me to a bay view room for free. Our experience from beginning to end at this hotel was pleasurable.

When we went into the room, it was awesome. The room was big, the layout great, and everything it in it was modern. The bed was comfortable, there was an indoor fridge, and the view of the bay was nice. The airport is right next to the bay so you could see airplanes taking off in the distance. Inside the hotel, there is an atrium with a deli, restaurant, sports bar, and a fitness center.

We only stayed here for a night but did order room service for breakfast. The prices were actually reasonable and the food was great. It would have been perfect if we stayed at this hotel from the beginning. The only thing is I wouldn’t have been able to book these rooms for free through my credit card rewards program.

After breakfast we got ready for the airport. We used the TV video checkout, then the courtesy shuttle took us back to the airport. The shuttle was early and the plane was late. The flight was still enjoyable with all its amenities and it seemed like the flight was actually shorter on the way back.

Overall, this was a great vacation and hope to do it again soon. We were very lucky to get to do all the things we did, take in the city, meet many nice people, and get some freebies for this trip.
