Could anyone help me with the names of the hotels in downtown L.A.?

One has 3 stars ($89) with:

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

The other one has 3 1/2 stars ($129) with:

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

I would like to know the names of the hotels before paying.

Please help!

Welcome to the board, baileyroxy.

I'm not finding the same icons on my search.

Is this a one night stay (checking out 8/19) or two nights?

Are you searching on "2 adults/0 children" or some other combination?

Please use these HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links for your purchases.

Oh shoot, sorry about that!

yes, it's for just one night for 2 rooms (4 adults).

Thanks for the clarification.

For the 3.5*: Marriott, Sheraton, and Kyoto Grand have all been reported with those icons. Those three also share the same TripAdvisor rating (3.5/5). It could be any of them.

For the 3*: My best guess is Wilshire Grand, downgraded from 3.5* to 3*.

PRICELINE usually beats HOTWIRE on rate. It's often worth paying a premium on HW when your know, or have some good idea, what you're getting. When there's great uncertainty about the HW outcome though, as in this case, you might think about trying Priceline, to try and beat the HW rate.

If you want to try Priceline let us know for bid suggestions. If you choose one of the Hotwire options please let us know what you get.

Thank you very very much!

You are such a big help!!!

You're welcome, and I'm done for now.

:)

If you respond again someone will reply later in the weekend. Since this is for August there's plenty of time. Keep us posted!

I am looking for a good 4 stars hotel in downtown L.A. for 8/18~8/19 for 2 rooms (4 adults).

I've never tried their bidding and would love to know what my options are in advance.

I am willing to pay around $100.

TIA!

Please keep all discussion of this trip within this thread. Thanks.

The PRICELINE Los Angeles hotels that have been reported to the board can be found at the site's Priceline Hotel List for California.

When bidding (for example, for a 4* in Downtown Los Angeles), you could get any of the participating hotels at that star rating in that zone. There is no way to ensure a particular property.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Sorry, I thought I did post a new thread under "Los Angeles Priceline".

I didn't mean to post this under my old thread. Not sure what happened.

Thanks for your help.

[AaronJB]

The two threads were merged.

Happy to help! :) Is your budget $100 "all-in" per night, or $100 + taxes/fees?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

AaronJB,

As long as I can get 2 rooms for one night for under/around $250 all together, I will be happy.

4 stars hotel in downtown L.A. for $250 (2 rooms, one night)....is it even possible???

[Colfax]

HOTWIRE has a 4* in Downtown LA for $99 that looks like the the Westin Bonaventure.

Smokefree, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Highspeed

Does this interest you or do you still want to try PRICELINE and maybe get a 4* for less than $99?
