Eric Guo Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 We'll need to book 4 rooms from Feb 20 to Feb22 and 3 rooms on Feb 22-23. We will go to Santa Monica, Hollwood and UCLA. Thus, I guess Westwood/Santa Monica/BH area should be the one that I'm looking for.My offer $63 for 2.5* was denied. I would appreciate if anyone could provide me a strategy. My budget would be no more than $80 per night. Thanks.
thereuare Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 ...I guess Westwood/Santa Monica/BH area should be the one that I'm looking for.These are three different zones on PRICELINE... did you include all of these in your $63 rejected bid at the 2.5* level?Let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and please read your messages.

Eric Guo Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 I tried Santa Monica 3* with 76 at first, rejected. I then modified it to 2.5*, dropped my bid to 63 and added Westwood and Beverly Hill zones. Still no luck. This is where I'm now, offer to bid 63 for 2.5*, Santa Monica & Marina Del Rey, Brentwood - Westwood, Beverly Hills - West Hollywood is rejected.

bnkmom Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Good Luck. I have tried same days 3* and 4* up to 160.00 with no luck. happens to be NBA All Star weekend in Hollywood. I booked a hotel with cancellation privileges for safety and will continue to bid up to price I paid. I tried all areas listed and even full price are hard to find for that weekend. Best Western wants 525 per night!
Eric Guo Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 Well, I finally got the rooms from Marina International Hotel 2.5* with the price $75 for 2/20-2/21. Considering the All Stars night and the holiday, I guess I don't have many choices left. I'll try another bid for the other three nights. Hope get some luck.
