I just realized that Coachella is that weekend so I decided to jump on a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal instead of waiting till the last minute. I got the hotel Avalon for $153/night and booked through your link. Thank you for your help.

Yes, I'm willing to go beyond $150. That was just an initial number I threw out there, but if it's not really doable, then I can go more. I'll say that the absolute max would be $200/night.

Here they are with amenities. Beverly Hills/ Century city area hotel. 3.5* - $158/night pets, restaurant, pool, fitness center, non smoking Brentwood/Westwood 4* - $188/night Pets, restaurant ,pool, fitness center, business center, non smoking West Hollywood 4* - $198/night pets, restaurant, pool, fitness center, business center, free internet, non smoking

I clicked on the PRICELINE EXPRESS deals and it gave me these options: Beverly Hills/ Century city area hotel. 3.5* - $158/night Brentwood/Westwood 4* - $188/night West Hollywood 4* - $198/night Any Idea what hotel these would be?

I don't think it's a necessity as it looks like most of the 4* hotels and up seem to be relatively close to the water, and the fact that Santa Monica isn't that big. Is a 4* hotel in that zone doable in the $150 range? I've searched the site and it seems that some people have gotten a room in that range and they all seem to be at Le Meridian Delfina. Quite frankly, I haven't seen any one post winning bids in Santa Monica at any other hotels 4* and up. Maybe that's the only one that's available for bidding and all the others are only available for retail. I will get a cancellable backup, but is it best to start the bidding process within 48hrs of the trip or will I have similar results if I try it now? When I do book I will be sure to do it through the links that you provided. Thanks for your help.

I've never used Priceline or Hotwire, but have heard that you can get some smoking deals on last minute hotels. I am obviously a bit out from my travel date, but want to get a handle on the bidding process. My trip details are as follows. 4* or better Los Angeles - 1st - Venice/Santa Monica, 2nd -Marina Del Rey, 3rd - West Hollywood 4/22-4/24 $150 On or near the beach Any info such as when I should place a bid, if I should use multiple zones, how much lower than my max $$ should I bid, etc., would be much appreciated. Thanks! Dave
