Thanks for any input. Have stayed at The Sunset Hyatt, now 3stars - great location, but horrible due to reconstruction methinks still, though if anyone has recent comments, thanks in advance. Intercontinental also great, except only valet parking and not as great location. 3 stars fine, but fear Beverly HIlls Crowne Plaza - YUCK. Change that to MAJOR YUCK. Stayed at all of these through priceline before joining this site. Never do hotwire though think I read you can specify Hollywood. True or not? Lastly, hotwire doesn't give any clue to their hotels unlike priceline. OK, input appreciated.
