valencia Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 There's a lot to be said about getting all your reservations ahead of time. I am finding last minute bidding and unappealing Hotwire offers much more challenging than weeks earlier.Yesterday made Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks 3*bid up to $55 yesterday with counteroffer of $71, adding N. Hollywood as free rebid, then adding Burbank as an option, then dropping to 2.5*, getting same counteroffer of $71 when I reached a $55 bid. I started again today at $60 for 3* in Van Nuys. Counteroffered at $74.Added N. Hollywood at $65. Got same $74 counteroffer.Then I bid 2.5* Van Nuys at $60 and got a $71 counteroffer.I ignored it and did a totally new bid for N. Hollywood alone at 2.5* at $60 which was rejected.Added my preferred zone of Van nuys to N. Hollywood, bid $65 and was upgraded to a 3*.Best Western Carriage InnWonder why the hotel didn't accept it before. same zones. Same bid. happy to be done with this!Best rate on internet at hotel website was total $325 with tax. We paid $230.I used your PRICELINE link, of course. Link to comment

valencia Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I had a very nice stay and even extended one night through your link and my reservation as we were not abel to do everything we wanted in that time frame. I was VERY happy they accepted the extend a night at same price. They seemed to sell out every night . Family members were abel to get a $99 rate for a king room and $104 for two bedded room ( which are not in same area of hotel)I will write a quick report when I get unpacked. Had a great vacation overall in California this summer, much so thanks to your website! Link to comment
