It was the Radisson that i won for $43/night. In the LAX zone. This was actually the second time I've used priceline + betterbidding.com. The first time was a little less than a month ago for a 1 week LA trip. I had a very similar result that time, except that I only bid for the hotel and flew on Alaska air. I did one bid for about $38, didn't get it, added Beverly Hills and went to 2.5 star, then bid for $43 and got it at the Radisson. So, second time for $43/night at the Radisson.

I needed a hotel for 10 days in Gardena (near LAX). Priceline touted a package deal: hotel, car, plane: $934 but it doesn't give you choice of travel time (e.g. very long travel times just for SF <--> LA, plus I couldn't even specify that I wanted to go to LA in the morning and return in the evening). :) So I declined that Started bidding for a 4 star hotel at $37. Then $42 (added a location) Then $43 (went to 3 star). accepted. They offered me a rental car on the spot for $12/day (compact). A compact car is just fine so I took it. Left Priceline. Went to alaska air site. round trip: about $350. yikes! decided I could fly out of Oakland Southwest Air: $150 round trip (approx). Total trip price: $748.63 :)
