purplelotus Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Total cost was $141.64 for the 2 nights. Won yesterday. I started out bidding at $44 and increased bids by $2 using free re-bid zones. When I bid $56, I got a counter for $67. Rejected that of course, and used my final re-bid zone and increased bid by another $2 to $58, and voila, got the Hilton. I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times before (got it on either Priceline or Hotwire), but it was several years ago. It was nice then so I hope it still is. I could have reserved the hotel for $85/night (AAA refundable rate) on Hilton's website so deal is decent, but worse than average for Priceline even though I know I didn't overpay. Hard to know where to stay in LA since attractions are spread out -- I'm familiar with the city since I lived there a short while -- but I like that there is public transport (bus) near this hotel. Cheap too -- only $1.50.I used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link. I like the new look of the site and the no-brainer format to enter one's wins -- maybe it will encourage more people to post.
