everwood Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi,I'm looking for a *4 hotel in downtown LA. I bided as high as $76 for a four-night stay between Mar. 29 and Apr.2, but still can't got a offer. should I try again later? or It's just impossible to get a deal under $76 for mystay?Thanks!

everwood Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 my budget is 80 dollars a day. Do you think there is a good possibility for me to get a *4 hotel there?thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 The two hotels that appear most frequently, the Omni, has rates higher then when we typically see bids accepted at your limit, while the Westin is sold-out for these dates.If you want to try nonetheless i would bid as follows. You have 4 re-bid zones at the 4* level. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80.Let us know how it goes or if you ultimately decide to raise your limit/lower your star rating.

everwood Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have already tried adding hollywood and culvercity, doesn't work.Does Beverly hills has any *4 hotels?another question: if I go with the *3 hotel in Downtown los angeles, what price should I start with? I mean sincethere are fewer other zones with only *2 or lower level hotels, I need to get a deal at the first bid, right? or else, I'll probably end up with some hotel in places other than downtown LA when I add addtional zones.Thanks!
