Decided against bidding for BH hilton due to some uncertainty on which hotel I'd end up with. My buddy bid for DT LA on Priceline for around this time, and ended up getting the DT Westin Buenaventura for around $55/night (I think)

The stay for Austin will be 3/10-3/15 of 2006. As far as the BH trip next month, decided against bidding in that area since it was just a little out my price range. Friend ended up booking the DT Westin Bonaventura for us instead (think he got it for $55) through Priceline (I'll annotate that thread)

Looked at some dates next year for Downtown Austin. It's coming back with 3* hotel for $75. Might this be the Crowne Plaza in DT Austin which I thought was a 3.5 star hotel?

Hmmm, maybe you're right. Hilton had previously been showing up as $136, and its 'replacement' is showing up as $148, so maybe Hilton raised their rates. Guess I should have booked previously. Not that Hilton is that nice, but there is event scheduled for Hilton during which time I was hoping to stay there. Thanks, anyways.

I've been tracking rates for Beverly Hills Hilton on Hotwire (using BetterBidding description) for last several months hoping to catch a lower rate for my planned stay 10/24. Recently, I noticed the Hilton seems to have vanished from the list of hotels returned. I've even tried dates in other months, and Hilton doesn't show up in any of the returned hotel lists. Does anyone know if they are no longer offering rooms through Hotwire?
