fly_up_front Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I'd been messing around with this for over a week on PL and just getting nowhere. There was a huge video game conference in town and the word on other travel sites was that on certain nights, LA was completely sold out. This was seeming to be true as I bid up to $48 for a 3* at LAX with no luck when usually $35-38 will get the job done. Similar higher than normal bidding attempts at lower rated hotels wasn't getting anywhere either. I didn't bid high enough on PL to know for sure whether or not this is another situation where Hotwire had access to rooms that PL didn't.Was running out of time and re-bid opportunities and couldn't risk being too far away from the airport so used Hotwire and went with the 3.5* for $57 and it was the Hilton which PL rates a 3*.Not my proudest travel bidding moment but a decent savings off Hilton's rate for that night of $109.Hilton Los Angeles Airport and Towers 5711 West Century BlvdLos Angeles, CA 90045(310) 410-4000 Check-in: Fri, May 14, 2004 Check-out: Sat, May 15, 2004Hotel's amenities:Airport Shuttle, Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, Business Center, Laundry Facilities.1 room(s) @ $57.00 per night x 1 night(s) $57.00 Taxes and fees: $13.95 Total Price $70.95 Link to comment
