Priceline Hotel: Hotel Angeleno

[Tmschmelzer]

Does anyone else think it is an outrage that Hotel Angeleno has been elevated to a 4 star hotel in the

Century city Westwood region of LA? I do a lot of bidding in this region. Used to end up with either

Intercontinental or Hyatt century Plaza in the neighborhood of 120-150/night. Sometimes, Hotel Palomar,

Still a step below IMO but at least arguable. Angeleno? This place is a renovated Holiday Inn (true).

And directly on the 405. I think it really, really sucks that Priceline is manipulating the star system to direct

Business to certain hotels. Whereas I used to be confident on bidding on a 4 STAR hotel in CC, now I

Risk a renovated holiday inn on the 405. I invite the opinions of those who have also stayed in this

Region.

If you're not happy with a potential hotel in a given zone then use HOTWIRE where you have more of an ability to target/avoid a specific hotel in the zone. I'm not familiar with this property, but both Orbitz and Travelocity rate this property 4*, while Expedia gives it 3.5*, so the 4* rating is probably not that far off the mark.
