thereuare Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Are you still seeing this property offered on a current HOTWIRE search? I'm not seeing it on my own HOTWIRE search.If you do still see it, are you searching for more than one room and/or more than the default 2adults/0children? What is the price?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

agbcham Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sorry--new to the board. Yes we are bidding for 2 adults and 2 children. I saw it still on the board and it is priced at $79 per night. Thanks and I hope I got it right this time. I really appreciate all of your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I see the property now, but unfortunately it has not yet been identified.The TripAdvisor reviews aren't bad for a 2* property, but i think there may also be areas of this zone which are a bit 'sketchy' and not sure i would chance a 2* hotel in the zone... perhaps somebody more familiar with the area than i am can comment.What is your maximum budget for this stay?

agbcham Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Our budget is up to $115-120 per night. We are interested in being near Dodger Stadium and some of the Hollywood sights. I think I will try to find something downtown.Thanks Link to comment
Colfax Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 With a $120 budget you don't need to gamble on a 2* in Hollywood. You might win the 4* Westin Bonaventure Downtown on PRICELINE for $75 or so. It could be a different 4* hotel too but usually Westin comes up.Parking is expensive at Westin but even with parking you'd still be under $120, and you could take the Metro from Downtown to Hollywood and Dodger stadium.It's possible that $120 might be enough for a 4* in Hollywood zone too.

agbcham Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 This is just a general question--I am trying to book at hotel in the downtown area 3 1/2 stars or higher. Prices are much higher for 3 people (2 adults 1 child) than for 2 people. Can I risk booking for 2 and then asking to double beds? Also is it worth risking this on priceline in downtown LA.Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 That's just the issue... it's a risk.Somebody more familiar with Downtown Los Angeles will hopefully reply, but there is also a further discussion of this in the link in our PRICELINE FAQ.The advice may differ as well if you're looking for 2adults/1child (as just posted) vs. if you're looking for 2adults/2children (as posted previously)... what is the actual occupancy you need. It also may help to know the age of your child(ren) as the advice may also differ if the child is 4 years old vs. 15 years old.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

agbcham Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Just one child--age 7. Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 How would you handle it if the hotel was only able to give you a room with one bed? Would you (and your spouse) be 'ok' with your child putting some sheets/blankets on the floor and using that as a bed... or would you be willing to go to a local target/walmart and buy an inflatable mattress (or pool raft if desperate) and use that as a bed?If the above seem like viable solutions then perhaps it would be worth the risk to you... if the above wouldn't be acceptable then you may be better off only purchasing a hotel when searching for the 'true' occupancy.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

DenverWing Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 This is likely the Super 8 Hollywood. Avoid it if you can. Link to comment
