Dave2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Posted April 27, 2017 With taxes and fees, I'd like to stay under $130
thereuare Posted April 27, 2017 Report Posted April 27, 2017 To avoid any confusion please always list your budget in terms of room rate per nite before taxes and fees, as it also then makes it easier for us to weigh any other options we may see since we don't need to then click-thru each one of them to see the total price. It would appear you could bid as high as $110/nite and still be within your $130 all-in budget, so this is the figure that i will be looking for, of course confirm that the total is within your budget on any purchase that you make. Looking at current rates for these dates i think you will most likely need to go down to the 3* level to be be successful at $110 or less in the LAX Airport zone.... and the other zones you listed are typically more expensive than the LAX zone. If you want to first try at the 3.5* level and the following zones are acceptable: LAX - Los Angeles Airport Brentwood - Westwood Venice - Santa Monica Beverly Hills - Century City ... then i would try bidding as follows: When bidding 3.5* in the Los Angeles area you have SIX re-bid zones. 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.
