  1. Another one of my last-minute bids through the forums' PRICELINE link. It sure seems like booking within one week of your stay results in higher price... :) I'm surprised that I didn't get the Renaissance, which recently moved up to 4*.....

    Anyways, previous rejected bid was $73/night. A bid of $70/night was countered with a offer to raise it by $22. I also made an attempt for a 3* LAX hotel, but gave up at $65/night.

    For reference, hotwire price for a 4* LAX hotel was $90/night (and I think it was the same hotel) and 3.5* LAX hotel was $77/night (and I think that was the Hilton).

  2. FWIW, I stay in LA frequently and shoot for 4* downtown/LAX. I prefer LAX over downtown because downtown is harder on parking (easily cost you $30/night instead of ~$13/night at the airport, free if you get lucky with street parking) and with downtown, you might end up with the Biltmore which does not deserve a 4* -- old, tired and rundown.

    BTW, please support our little community by providing following information on your earlier bids and using the PRICELINE links at savingsbarn. :)

  3. Bid through savingsbarn.com

    And this was a really round-about way to get it.

    * First, I walked a 3* LAX up to $63 for a two-night stay (11/14-11/16) with no luck.

    * Next day, I walked a 4* LAX to $80 for the same two-nights. No luck, even though another user got a similar win over the same time frame (but about a month ago...): another thread

    * So I went 4* downtown to $75 for only one night (11/15-11/16) -- I got the "please come back in 15 minutes" page at priceline, and it eventually came back with the Millenium Biltmore. I was hoping to avoid this hotel b/c I don't think the hotel deserves 4* (it's really old, really tired, uncomfortable beds...) -- but at least I have the option to expend my stay earlier by one day.... I also hate that area for expensive parking.
