jessgirl1010 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I have bid up to $140 for this and I have still been rejected. Do you think I should go higher or wait a few days? I have never bid this much before for this area. If worse comes to worse i could try a 3 star but I would like to stay at the W or Roosevelt Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Given that this date is within the week, I doubt prices will vary much between now and then - I would try higher by $5's until you reach your max.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Colfax Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 This is a Saturday night stay and Priceline might not have anything 4*.W is $319 and Roosevelt is $900(!)HOTWIRE has the Renaissance at $269. If Hotwire doesn't have W or Roosevelt for your date then Priceline probably doesn't have them either. I think it's been weeks since anyone's reported getting the W on PRICELINE or HOTWIRE. It may have gone on "hiatus".If you can't get a Hollywood 4* for your budget what's your Plan B? Link to comment
jessgirl1010 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thank you for the info. That is what I am thinking as well...My plan B would be to do a 3 star in Hollywood. Hotwire has one right now with a bed choice. Do you know which one that is? We would like to be close to the W because we are going to Drai's that night. I think west hollywood might be further than what we want. Link to comment

jessgirl1010 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I tried up to $200:) Still nothing...So I think you are right with them not accepting anything for a 4 star. However, when you click on Hollywood it shows it being the best deal by the 4 * which is weird. Do they ever put up rooms the day of that were canceled? This is jsut for a fun night so it's ok if I keep trying till the morning of, i can then either do a 3 star or west hollywood if i dont have any luck. The main thing is being close to the W if we are not staying there. Link to comment
Colfax Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hotels can give PRICELINE inventory any time they want, up to and including the day of travel. But with W not reported here in several weeks, and Roosevelt's best rate still $900/night on 4/24, I don't think a last minute PRICELINE win is something you can count on, at least not for a Hollywood 4*.The Hollywood Heights Hotel, which PRICELINE rates 3*, is $149 for your dates. Does that interest you? If so you might try bidding in the $75-100 range for a Hollywood 3* on PRICELINE. (HH Hotel is the most likely outcome, but not guaranteed.)Or, you can likely win a 4* in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood or Downtown for under $100, then take Metro or a cab to the W. $100 plus roundtrip cabfare will still be less than the $200 you've already bid.

jessgirl1010 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Thank you for all the advice. I ended up just booking through the W for 319. A lil more expensive then we wanted but split up between a lot of poeple its not too bad:) I forgot to update you-sorry! I will be bidding soon again and will keep you posted! Link to comment
