Priceline Hotel: 3* Long Beach (San Pedro) Doubletree San Pedro

After not having any luck with my preferred LA and OC zones, I gave Long Beach a try. I had tried going as high as $60 (2.5*) in the Long Beach, Torrance-Carson and Airport zones to no avail. Then I split my bid (started with first two nights) and bid $45 for the Airport. I was prompted to increase my bid by $13. Instead I decided to add additional zones and bump up my bid slowly. I never had any intention of adding San Pedro as I had read some pretty bad reviews for The Marina hotel but it was late and I was tired and I somehow checked it, bid $50 and won. :)

Happily though the former Marina hotel has been rebranded a Doubletree and $8.5 million in renovations were scheduled to be completed August 1, 2006. The pictures look promising - hopefully they did in fact renovate every single room otherwise I may get stuck in a "PL room"! I will do a full review when I get back.

Oh I was able to add two additional nights for the same price. As I had never bid in this zone, perhaps I could have done better than $50 but at this point I'm just happy to have found a convenient location with free parking for a good price. I believe the cheapest rate through Hilton is $116.

All of my bidding was started at SavingsBarn.
