After spending a horrible night over at the homestead suites(uncle's booking), I booked this marriott.

I bid first for torrance-carson 3* at 45

then 3* $50 added long beach airport(no 3* there)

then 3* $55 and added San Pedro and this was accepted

However, supposedly $5 dollars was added by a Priceline coupon.

Anyways, it was a beautiful Marriot loved it and the pool and excercise room were nice. Nice view from 14th floor and great service. Parking was free in their garage and nice shopping around and not far at all from Redondo/manhattan beaches.

In the process of doing it made two new converts to Betterbidding in the process, my uncle and cousin who were litterly floored to see the price I got this marriot for. They used the homestead suites before and my uncle paid for it at 89/night. He was poleaxed to see someone on betterbidding get it for 36 dollars night and then see me get this marriott across the street for 55.

Thanks for the new hotel for our lists and for helping to spread the word about BetterBidding! :)

Glad you had a very good stay were able to turn some others onto the benefits of the opaque suppliers.

So, as far as this BB is concerned, will posts regarding properties in the Torrance-Carson subzone of the Long Beach zone be found here (as I would submit they should be), or in California - All Other Cities (where some of them are)? How about the Redondo-Manhattan Beach zone?

[thereuare]

This thread belongs (and will now be moved) to the "Other Cities".

On the otherhand, Redondo-Manhattan Beaches would be in the Los Angeles forum.

This is the distiction (bold added by me):

If you go to Priceline and look at the paragragh above where you select the zones, the Torrance/Carson selections begins:

Torrance, California is located within the Long Beach, CA....

While the Redondo/Manhattan zone begins as follows:

Redondo Beach, California is located within the Los Angeles - Central L.A. area

Hope this explains the rationale for classifying each (and sets precedence for other cities too).
