More Hotwire changes around LAX.

The following hotels, which used to be in LAX zone, are now in El Segundo-Manhattan Beach zone:

3* Hacienda Hotel

2.5* Homestead Suites

2.5* Ramada Plaza LAX-El Segundo

2* Travelodge South

==================

The Hotel List has a 3* Plaza Hotel in LAX zone. That was the old name for what's now the Courtyard LA Westside (6333 Bristol Parkway, Culver City), and that hotel is in Hotwire's Culver City zone.

Is it me or did the Virginia Beach zones change completely? I'm not as experienced at this game as most of you, I've only used PL and this site for one hotel, but I've been looking at Virginia Beach and it seems like the zones are now very different from what they used to be and from what is posted on the Virginia-PL Hotel List on this site. Thanks!

It looks like Hotwire merged the San Jose Downtown (not Santa Clara) and San Jose Airport zones into a single "San Jose Area" zone.

I'll post this change in the "New Zone Boudaries" section, because I think that's where thereuare usually looks for boundary changes.

Thanks for pointing out the zone merge.

Just wanted to alert any San Diego visitors that a 3-star bid is, as of June 9, is now limited to one total free re-bid zone -- as some of the previous 2.5-star-and-under zones now have 3-star properties. There used to be 3-4 free re-bid zones; now only San Ysidro (for obvious reasons) is the only sub-3-star zone. So only one free re-bid zone exixts if you want to immediately rebid for a 3-star.

As the FAQs on this site emphasize, always always doublecheck Priceline's designation for each zone before bidding and do not assume that a hotel list or previous research still applies (new hotels open, old hotels are refurbed, etc.) With summer travel coming up, wanted to throw this out re SD.
