Priceline Hotel: Safe rebid zone for LA area

[shawnjlaw]

Am I correct in that Studio City is the only area with a less than 3* option for safe rebids? The list indicates that Sportman's Lodge (2.5 *) and a new Courtyard offering (3* but not confirmed as a priceline property) are all that is available in that area. I googled for Courtyard in Studio City and came up with Nada, although there is a listing for Sherman Oaks (Is this the Courtyard for Studio City?) Just looking for a safe rebid zone for targeting 3* and up, or trying to determine if the new Courtyard in this zone wouldn't be bad to get if using this zone (Studio City is a good central location but I've heard that Sportsan's Lodge has went down the crapper in recent years.) Am I overlooking another less than 3* zone? Seems like there used to be another one.

North Hollywood-Studio City only offers up to 2.5*, and NH-SC is the only rebid zone for 3* in the San Fernando Valley cluster.

In the Hotel List the Courtyard Sherman Oaks is incorrectly assigned to NH-SC zone. It's actually in Van Nuys-Mission Hills-Sherman Oaks zone now. There is no Courtyard in NH-SC. I don't know if the zone boundary changed since last report, or maybe a "data entry error".

Is a 3* hotel in VN-MH-SO zone your objective?

Actually I'm open somewhat, just wanted to stay 3* and above and not be too far removed from LA proper. Was actually starting the search in the Glendale Burbank area and thought the Studio City zone would be a safe rebid zone for 3* and above. But I'm open to South Bay, Culver City. Anyplace that isn't too far often the beaten path. I have a tendency to be in every corner of greater LA area when I'm there it seems.

shawnjlaw,

It would be appreciated if you used the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to access each site to begin your bidding, searches and purchases.

Thanks.
