kryswithak Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 Yes I can only stay Thursday-Sunday. I have my flight for these days already.
Romelle Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I did your nights one at a time on Hotwire - 4* Hollywood:4/7 - 1314/8 - 1324/9 - 1324/10 - 130And all 4 days at once - 131.This pretty much says there would be no advantage to splitting up your dates.It also suggests your bidding is probably pretty close since generally one can do a little better via Priceline.Are you staying 3 nights or 4? Wasn't sure since the range 4/7 - 4/10 can be interpreted either way. ??If you are arriving very late and/or departing very early, the airport hotels are often quite a bit less expensive and can be convenient. A lower-priced night there could leave a little extra for the other nights.Romelle
kryswithak Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 Check-In April 7Check-Out April 10Sorry for the confusion. My flight is at normal times so I won't need a hotel closer to the airport. I didn't see that 4* Hollywood rate you were talking about on Hotwire. What bidding strategy can you give me?
Romelle Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I didn't see that 4* Hollywood rate you were talking about on Hotwire.I just entered your dates and Hollywood, and clicked on the HOTWIRE link in the upper left hand corner here. If you previously checked Hotwire and didn't see it, it might be a new offering. They change all the time. Romelle
kryswithak Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 I started bidding for this back in January to now starting at $90 going to $120 before tax with no luck. I have given up for LA. :-(
