madisonb Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi,I'm searching on Hotwire for Jan 13-15 Los Angeles. This hotel came up at $159/night, rated 4 stars. Amenities are listed below:Fitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterGolf NearbySpa ServicesCould this be the W? Any idea as to what hotel this is?Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 From the Hotwire Hotel List this is a match for the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa so that would be our best guess.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.It would also be appreciated if you followed-up your previous Hotwire Los Angeles thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... it will add 'closure' to that thread and also won't leave others wondering what you ultimately did.Let us know how the above goes or if we can be of further help.

madisonb Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 maximum bid would be $1254* hotelhotel zones: Beverly Hills - West Hollywood/Brentwood - Westwood/Santa Monica & Marina Del Rey Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Are you familiar with Priceline Re-Bidding Explained?The only zone that you mention above that offers 4* bidding is (Beverly Hills - West Hollywood)... if you mentioned the others in order to use them as re-bids, you actually have 5 re-bid zones available when bidding 4*.So first step... do you understand re-bidding and know your five re-bid zones?

madisonb Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 thanks for the clarification with rebidding! yes i was trying to enter in areas that did not appear to have 4* hotels using the priceline list of hotels. after reading your post on rebidding, i went to priceline and looked at what they listed as 4*'s to verify. bid: $120rating: 4*date: 1/13/07-1/14/07area: Beverly Hills - West Hollywoodtotal after taxes: $145.54hotel: Hyatt Regency Century Plaza offer accepted, got the hotel i wanted! i guess the range would be somewhere b/t $100-$120 for this area? thanks again for all your help!!!
