I've tried to book a hotel in Monrovia, Pasadena or Whitter on Sept 26 checking out Sept 27. I've usually been able to get a great deal in this area. I first bid $25, $35, and then $40. All the while reducing my * rating. I was rejected. Then I saw that someone was able to get Whitter, CA for $33, so I tried that and was rejected. Has anyone out there been sucessful in these areas lately and how much did you spend? dtrain
