You got the 5 star for $122?? Wow!! That is amazing!

Thank you for the suggestions! I bid up to $85 and received a counteroffer of $138 per room which I did not accept. I ended up going back to the Priceline Express Deals but the one I was eyeing was already gone..checked Hotwire and was happy to see the 2.5 stars $125/night deal still available. I purchased the hotwire deal for ease of mind as it had free parking, hoping it would be the Best Western Royal Inn & Suites....and I got it! I decided it would be better to go with this Hotwire deal as I was fairly convinced it would be the Best Western you identified and wanted it specifically. Still quite expensive to me but at least I saved some money! Funnily enough, called the hotel and they said it would be about $168 with AAA and $188 without. Expe.dia has it listed for $143 per night + $22 in taxes per night to total $495. So I saved about 50 dollars. I'm surprised Expedia has it for so much lower than the hotel directly! Anyway, thank you again for all of your help both thereuare and AaronJB!!

Thank you for the response and for mentioning another 2.5 hotel in that zone. My main goal is to stay around $130 max per day including taxes/parking for something better than a Motel 8...but I can see that even at 2.5 stars this is almost impossible in the area! I feel that the Brentwood - Westwood zone is the best location for our itinerary but anything in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood & Hollywood will work perfectly. Thank you again.

Thank you for your help :) Well, you make a good point, though I realized after I continued the screen that the price listed was before taxes...375 + 80 in taxes coming to a total of $455. Yikes for me ha.. I calculated that I can bid on Priceline for that location up to $100 and, if I end up with the Holiday Inn West Los Angeles (which charges 10 per night for parking), will still save over the $455 priceline express deal because including taxes will come to $360, then 30 dollars in parking, so $390. Do you think I can end up with the Best Western Royal on Priceline name your price even though it's not listed under the 2.5 stars Brentwood-Westwood hotels list category? It only lists the Holiday Inn, which is still good bidding up to $100. I've only bid up to $75 so far and rejected. I understand the list on the forums isn't the 100% full list so there's always a gamble of a different hotel. Thank you again all for the help.

I'm starting to think that this one on Priceline is the Best Western Royal as well, which I would be happy with. I am thinking about bidding in the area 2.5 stars and up hoping to get it for a bit cheaper however a bit worried I would end up with Holiday Inn Express West Los Angeles (the other 2.5 listed under the Priceline hotels list) as it would cost an additional $60 in parking. Although perhaps there is parking in the area. Hmmmmm.

Okay, thank you for clarifying! I'm going to be visiting Los Angeles with my boyfriend February 27 to March 1. We are planning to visit Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Universal Studios but struggling to find a hotel that's more affordable to meet our needs. Generally would like somewhere 2.5/3 stars + for around $120-130 a day (including taxes + parking as we will likely be driving there). I see there is a hotel on the Priceline Express Deals section: 2½ Star Hotel in Brentwood - Westwood Area for $125 a day. It states Free Breakfast Free Internet Free Parking Swimming Pool Fitness Center Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks :)

Thank you so much for your help. I am still looking around the area, checking both Priceline and Hotwire. If I have a request to help identify a Priceline deal, should I post it in the Priceline board? Or continue any requests in this one? Also, I have been using the links provided on the forum (and will post back with my travel outcomes once purchased). Thank you again.

Thanks for the response! On that tool it shows a 2.5 stars in the area for $125 rather than $126. Is it correct to assume it's the same hotel? If so, it lists: FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free breakfast, Free Internet, Fitness center, Pool(s), Self-service laundry, Internet access, In-room accessibility Edit: I do believe it is that same hotel. It has the same number of reviews upon clicking on more details. Any ideas ? Thanks :)
