coreyskate Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Posted October 10, 2011 This is indeed a 16 night stay. since posting i have narrowed it down to only wanting to stay in hollywood. ive noticed that the Hollywood Heights hotel is listed under a 3 star hotel, and is the only one in that category, does that mean if i bid for 3 stars i will get that hotel? because i have stayed there before and it was a very enjoyable stay. im looking for anything 3 stars and up, and am willing to start at 4 and work my way down if needed. i saw someone posted they have a winning bid of $60 at hollywood heights hotel. should i try for that? and will i get that hotel as its the only one listed under 3 stars in the area?Thanks for all your help
hohogap Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Just a comment on whether the one identified 3* PL hotel is the one you would receive when bidding on the opaque side of the site. They are 2 separate sets of inventory on PL and the fact that only one 3* hotel shows up as an identified hotel does not mean that is the only hotel you will receive if bidding 3* in this area on PL. I've often received hotels that I bid on that are not listed anywhere else on the PL site. Hope that helps a bit in your decision.
