Hotwire Hotel: Help with Santa Monica hotel ID's on Hotwire

[tazzy]

I looked up hotels in Santa Monica on Hotwire and I'm trying to identify which hotels are coming up in the rating levels that I'd consider. it's for an 8/7-8/9 stay.

First is $319 a night for a four-star hotel in SM/Venice/MDR with a gym, pool and restaurant.

Second is $245 a night for a 3-1/2 star hotel in SM/Venice/MDR with beach, gym, restaurant, business center and internet access.

Any ideas which hotels these might be and, given these price points, what a suitable Priceline bid for 3-1/2 to four-star hotels might be?

Thanks!

I'm not seeing either of the properties above when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing this on your own search? If so, are you searching HOTWIRE for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0chldren?

Regardless seems like you're going to try PRICELINE first anyway, so if that is the case, are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay? What is your maximum bid?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!
