[ctaylor45]

Hey guys,

Im looking for bidding advise for a 1 night stay, check In july 18 and checking out July 19. I would prefer either Santa Monica area, or the Beverly Hills/Hollywood area as well. Budget is 70-90 dollars with tax. I'd be ok with 3* and above. what do you guys recommend?

Please follow-up your previous Priceline Las Vegas thread with how the bidding went and whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll have a look at your post above.

I replied that thread, I didn't end up going to Vegas for July 4th so I didn't bid with priceline.

Are your plans for the above date firm?

If so, what is your maximum bid before taxes and fees?

I assume you're looking for the least expensive 3* or better in either zone? (rather than willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel)

I think my max bid without taxes or fees would be 70 dollars. Yes a 3* would be fine, but the nicer the better of course. And yes this time my plans are FIRM, I will be staying in the LA area Saturday night, so I need to book this soon.

Yes a 3* would be fine, but the nicer the better of course.

Then did you want to bid up to your limit for a 4* hotel first, if rejected lower to 3.5* up to your limit, then if rejected lower to 3* up to your limit... OR are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better property for this nite?
