Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Los Angeles (Redondo-Manhattan Beach) Crowne Plaza

[luckyarribas]

Same day bidding. Tried at $48, got a counter to add $11. I added santa-monica (not a free re-bid but I know 3.5* go for a lot more there) and raised to $53. Accepted, with taxes about $68. I know they charge $22 for parking but I plan on finding an alternative garage or the street a couple blocks away. Used PRICELINE links. I also noticed this hotel was $69 on hotwire today (3 stars there) but had been more earlier in the week.

Just to follow up, there was plenty of free parking a block or two up Beryl Street. Hotel was very nice but rooms not as recently renovated as you'd expect with most 3.5* class hotels (still has a tube TV, no mini-bar, only small dorm fridge, no microwave, closet door was off track) but bedding was great and furniture acceptable. Parking is $20+ and wifi is another $10. The front desk did upgraded us to partial ocean view for no charge. I know there have been a lot of hit or miss reviews on this place, honestly for the rack rate I would have been disaapointed but at the priceline rate its a great value for a hotel right on the marina a couple blocks from sandy beaches and near a lot of the action. The rooms will probably be refurbished in the next 6-12 months so these good deals might be gone.
