just to clear up... I booked directly through dollar.co.uk There are no one way fees, (emailed for confirmation on this). 9 days

ah, ok, i got there. It prices shown seem very expensive, - eg dollar = $156/week but $883 total I believe it's for the one way drop off charge. how much should i bid? and will that include the drop of charge? I dont want to bid for example $15 and get the car , then be hit later with the drop off charge. Regards

thereuare, the 4 star hotel on hotwire suits, but not at that price, just yet. :) i'd prefer to go this way first. I'd prefer the Sheraton due to its location, but the marriott marina is well reveiwed and the location would not be too bad. So, i should go with the bidding strategy offered by thereuare? Select 3.5*... Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone1... Bid $75, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE Select 3.5* and re-bid zone2... Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1... Bid $85 Thanks

ok, so there are 3 properties on hotwire in the 'Santa Monica - Venice - Marina Del Rey Hotel' area. 4 star near beach, smoke free rooms, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, high speed internet access - $175 which is probably sheraton delfina. 2 star complimentary breakfast, pool - $73 = Ramada Limited Marina del Rey. 3 star ocean front, complimentary breakfast, business center, high speed internet access, golf nearby, tennis nearby. what could this one be? it doesnt match anything on the hotwire list... Thanks again.

ok, i did the hotwire check wrong! there are properties on there, i'll get back to you. Thanks.

It's actually the santa monica area i'd prefer, but i take it the same advice about hotwire applies? I just did a hotwire check, and there are no properties showing at present for santa monica - Marina del rey. hmm, i'll wait on advice about Marina del rey. i've left a question on Trip Advisor too, and one poster told me to check you guys out! :-) we'll see what happens, i have a back up booked, and time is on our side. Thank you.

yeah, i had considered that, it seems SM to MDR is about 10 - 20 mins drive away depending on traffic. we will have a rental car. I would prefer SM, as i'm driving for a few days before, during and after these 3 days, and i'm sure i'd appreciate the break. But if i'm to use PL, then it's a chance i'll have to take, because MDR hotels are in all the star rating categorys. If I do get a hotel in MDR, then i think it wont be too bad, as it's a short drive to SM. Does all that sound correct? Thanks.

hello. dates - check in 10th June, check out 13th June 2010. I want to stay in Santa Monica. I have bid as follows..... 4 star $115 unsuccessful - add rebid zone 1 $120 unsuccessful - add rebid zone 2 $135 unsuccessful - add rebid zone 3 $140 - unsuccessful. I will lower the * rating to 3.5* - 2 rebid zones. what would be a sensible starting price? does this look ok? bid $70 - add rebid zone 1 (culver city) bid $75 - add rebid zone 2 (lawndale) bid $80. then rethink if unsuccessful. Thanks again!

Hi, is this statement still true? from the priceline hotel list - oceana is a 3star in santa barbara and le merigot isnt mentioned? I would like to bid on the santa monica beach hotel, and i will start my own thread, but i need to know if the above is correct. Thanks.

its only a dollar out, but the new title says 77, it was $78. small point! thanks.

$78 Very happy with this. :) i bid $60 added rebid zone 1 then $65 added rebid zone 2 then $70 added rebid zone 3 then $75 added rebid zone 4 then $78 - successful. $280 total we wanted this hotel, and had booked it as a cancellable backup for this... Discounted Avg. Daily Rate: $229.25 Discounted Room Cost: $687.75 Occupancy $106.60 Total Room Cost: $794.35 a ridiculous saving of about $525 can you put this one the calendar of wins please. Thanks again guys!! :)

will it automatically be the hip room? if i want a fountain view room, how could that happen? wait until i get there and ask? email them ahead of time? cheers

thats good, is it not? will there be a resort fee on top of that?

4 star - central strip casino, restaurant, pool, fitness center, business center, spa and internet access. $66 what hotel is that? i dont think its TI, as it would have golf, and no Internet access - is that correct? cheers

thanks guys, yeah, its a bargain, and i'm sure it'll be fine, i'll be sure to try ess-a-bagel. i'll move on over to san francisco thread now! thanks again.

My bid at $120 was succesfull. The Roosevelt Hotel New York 45Th And Madison Avenue. any opinions on this hotel, location looks good, but the reveiws on trip advisor are mixed!. well, it is what it is, i'm sure it'll be fine. We've made a saving, thanks for your help and advice. Do i need to add this to the calendar of wins? or change the title or anything else? Thanks again.

thanks for the advice JB and Haider. Hi Thereuare, at this stage, I'm going to bid for 3.5 star, maximum bid $120. can i have a strategy for this please cheers.

Select 4* MTE, MTW, CPS, and ESB... Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $112, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115. I tried this, without success. I think I'll try $120 next for 4 star again.

I did this....... Select 3.5* MTE, MTW, CPS, ESB and MSG... Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone 1 Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone 2 Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone 3 Bid $100. I'll have to wait another 24 hours to bid again. Am I missing anything?

yeah sorry, i meant the next star rating down from 4 star, so yeah 3.5 star. chelsea, long island and upper east side are only rebid zones for 3.5 star, is that correct? can i have a strategy for this please? Thanks
