Thanks for your reply. Yes, im willing to accept anything within the zone but, reading on the forum it seems like everyone has been able to book with Crowne Plaza. Its the only 3* hotel in the San Pedro area. The next zone is the Long beach area with the Queen Mary. This zone is not including the Long beach airport area. The Crowne plaza is the cost the least out of all the 3* hotels in the area. If I used all Long Beach/Torrence zones what is the likely hood that I will get the Crowne Plaza. Laydee559
