JonathanK Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Hey all. I am back again! My normal trip to Southern California and I need a 1 day stay in Santa Monica for this Friday November 4th. I will use the links so do not worry! Also, I'm guessing I can be okay with Culver City, but I really prefer SM.I'm really looking for $100-$110 for a 3* or higher hotel. Any suggestions? I did try yesterday on Priceline bidding up to $75. I didn't want to bid too much, but not sure what I'm really looking at. I kind of want some guidance. Thanks everyone.
thereuare Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 I will use the links...Please use for your searches too!I think Santa Monica may be a tough win within your budget, but to give it a try you have THREE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 3* Santa Monica...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Santa Monica and re-bid zone2...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Santa Monica and re-bid zone3...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Santa Monica and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115 (if you want to bid the extra $5)Any questions feel free to ask.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

JonathanK Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Posted March 22, 2014 I ended-up booking direct, since two of my friends were already staying at a specific hotel. Had to pay much more than intended, but couldn't really stay somewhere different than them.
