robteb Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Needing a last minute booking for tonight and tomorrow night, I exhausted every different bidding combination possible, my last bid being $125 for a 3* including about 6 zones (I can't remember the exact combo), and had no luck getting anything in LA proper (was hoping for something near LAX), I then discovered that the largest citywide convention in LA's history, the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, is this week!! Every single 3.5* and 4* hotel is basically full!! I finally tried Burbank, starting at $80, and got lucky at $100 on my 3rd re-bid. The AAA rate at the Holiday Inn was listed as $171, so I think I got a great deal, all things considered. Btw, I also tried finding a rental car on HOTWIRE, with no luck. Thank God for my corporate rate (which I normally can beat), as regular rates at the few companies not already sold out started at $120 per day!!! God bless Microsoft for keeping the travel industry busy!Just noticed the hotel name got cut off in the thread title. It's the Holiday Inn Burbank - Media Center.I of course started all my bidding by clicking the BetterBidding PRICELINE link above! Link to comment
