Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Los Angeles (Airport LAX) Fail!

[johnmiller]

For anyone trying the Los Angeles airport area for next week, it could be difficult.

I have been in probably the toughest fight I have ever had with PRICELINE this week. I finally went with a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals offer for Socorro, NM for one stay. That was after numerous Name Your Price tries. The Express Deal was good, I must say! I am satisfied there. Hotel is Holiday Inn Express for $81/night.

With the 2.5* in the Los Angeles airport area, I first tried $50 yesterday, then $60 today. The second time, it came back and said I could get a 2.5* for $89/night. I saw that there is a Wingate by Wyndham that is well regarded by TripAdvisor and Priceline customers. One issue with thinking about their $89 offer: One popular 2.5* hotel you end up with on PRICELINE is the Holiday Inn. They charge $15/day for parking. Ouch!

I went directly to Wyndham's site and got the same approximate rate when staying three nights. There is no refund, but that is also the case on PRICELINE. Plus, I got a King Deluxe instead of a standard King. The standard is around $84/night if you stay three nights.
