Priceline Hotel: 4* hotel in Hollywood/West hollywood help

[swanny]

Hi

Looking for a room on 1/7/2012 for 1 night in hollywood or west hollywood. I started on priceline with an initial bid of $120 in hollywood and that was rejected, added in West hollywood for $120 and that was rejected. Am i right in thinking i should re bid if i add in Culver city as this doesnt have any 4* hotels? in the same way adding Inglewwod and USC could be added as they dont have 4* hotels? I was thinking of increasing to $130 as well

thanks

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Yes, the three zones above are currently re-bid zones (always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed) but you actually have FOUR re-bid zones available when bidding 4* in this region. See Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to confirm your 4th re-bid zones with the board.

Rates are a bit on the high sdie for these dates... what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?

The fourth would be Lawndale?

I havnt really looked through conventional channels i just went straight to Priceline, i saw somebody got the W for around $120 on here and i didnt think the weekend after NYE would be that sought after. Im willing to up my bid and maybe include downtown LA as well

Yes, Lawndale is the other re-bid zones.

Rates are date specifici so it's always recommended to research rates a bit before you star bidding... the other user's $120 win may have been during a slow time or a busy time, making $120 either too little, or too much, to be bidding for your own date(s).

With a $130 limit my guess is that you'll likely need to be looking at the Downtown area to succeed for a 4*.
