Priceline Hotel: Downtown L.A. or Hollywood, May 18-20

Goin' to L.A. for playoff basketball in a few days...

I want to stay within walking distance of Staples.

Ideally, I want to stay at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, but I don't want to pay $180 per night.

What does that leave me with?

I just checked HOTWIRE, and it doesn't show ANYTHING for downtown L.A. Why?

On PRICELINE, I'm getting only 4 hotels between 3-4 stars. The Westin, Hilton Checkers, Millenium and Kyoto. Location-wise, I'm fine with all of them. Price-wise, they range from $206-$382.

What are the chances I can get something under $100? I remember when the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins would show 6-7 wins per night. Now? Barely one per night. What's up with that? Because of this, I'm having a hard time gauging prices. I'll be happy with any of these under $100, but do they fall in that range? I remember in the past they have.

Secondly, if I can't get anything in that range... I think I'd rather get the W in Hollywood. Doesn't that go for $100 for the most part? Priceline shows $339 for that night... is that typical? Is it typical for the retail price on Priceline to be $339, and people still get it for $100 or so?

Thanks.

The Downtown LA Priceline zone isn't very deep, but it is about 3 miles wide. Are you OK with landing a hotel anywhere within it? 3 miles may be "walking distance" for somebody attending a sporting event, but thought I'd mention it just to be sure.

I'm a member, not a moderator. But the prices you cite, and the ones I found looking things up, suggest $100 for a 3* is going to be very dicey. Over 50% discounts happen, but one can't count on them. During peak times, the hotels don't need to cut so much to fill.

Have you identified your free rebid zones yet? You don't have a lot of time, so will need to make every bid count. If you aren't sure of them, you can post back for somebody to double check your logic.

Please post only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.

My best guess for this one is a new amenity set for the Sheraton.

Is this an additional nite to your 5/18-5/20 dates OR does this solo nite replace the previous two nites originally requested?
