Bidding history:

$78 Los Angeles

Have been bidding for many days but never succeed.I saw people had won bids at around $90.00 in downtown LA, so will the hotel price drop if i place bid closer to the intended check-in date?

Or is it too early to bid the hotel for April?

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Nobody can say if rates for your dates will drop, or move higher, between now and your stay. It all depends upon how actual demand (new reservations and cancellations) come in relative to expectations. However, rates are date specific and can vary substantially from one day to the next.

As an example, i found this $85/nite winning priceline bid for the LA Hotel Downtown which is for around the same dates as your own:

Rates 3/8-3/11: $169/nite

Rates for Your Dates: $269/nite

I didn't check other hotels vs. previous wins so but this at least serves as a good example. When retail rates are much higher, so likely will the needed bid to win on PRICELINE.

Using MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best available rate retail you're able to find at a 3.5* or better hotel in this zone for your dates?
