We turned up and found hotel workers striking out on the street in front of the hotel. As we've already paid, we can't take our custom elsewhere, though. Hotel itself is lovely (boutique style, though not small), though. The mini-bar is free, apparently, which is something of a first for us.
Bid up from $100 in $10 increments using just west hollywood and rebid zones. At $130 was offered hotel for $158, but ignored it. I hope I used the PRICELINE link correctly.
FYI - we're looking for those first two days too, and haven't managed to get anything going up to $170 for 4* in the downtown area. Think we'll end up dropping *s until we get something.
Ouch! I guess this means we'll be paying more - in which case a 3* or 4* as close to $150 as possible. I think we will require a place in downtown, as we won't have any transport. Is there a recommended strategy to try 4* and then 3* at a given price (did I read that priceline will upgrade if a 4* is available for a given price automatically..?)? thanks!
Looking at hotel rates for 4*, prices are $350+. Is this just a really busy time? Any suggestions for prices we should be bidding at? We're happy anywhere downtown (USE/USW/Financial/etc). thanks!
Bid from $100, first bid got offer for $115, ignored and got Portola Hotel & Spa on the second bid for $105 for the single night. Hopefully I used the PRICELINE link above correctly. Now if I can just get a San Fran 4* for ~$130...
