Priceline Hotel: 3* Los Angeles (Beverly Hills-West Hollywood)

[nates82]

I am a newbie to Priceline and I have a somewhat generic question, I have read "I've never used Priceline or Hotwire" and also "Bidding Again before 24 hours".

Reading past topics I found bidders getting the hotel I am interested in, Residence Inn Beverly Hills, recently for around $100, the Courtyard Century City is in the same zone and both are 3*, but the Courtyard is going for around $55 in recent successful bids. My question is, if I someone is bidding for that zone for 3* and goes to around $100 how come they don't get the Courtyard which is much cheaper? I am clearly missing something, but then again, I am a total Priceline newbie. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Rates are date specific... so there may be times when one hotel is offered for less then the other, and vice-versa... as well as times when one (or both) hotel doesn't offer any availability to the opaque suppliers. It would be too simplistic to think that the Courtyard is always available for $55 and the Residence Inn always available for $100.

If you need help with an upcoming stay please let us know the particulars (desired star rating, zone, maximum bid, dates, etc) and we'll try to help.

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