Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Los Angeles (Redondo-Manhattan Beaches) Crowne Plaza Rdndo Beach

[Bambie1]

Hello,

I've been making quite good use of your forum on a regular basis now and thought i'd throw this in there.

My boyfriend and I will be in california for a week and have booked all our other nights hotels near disneyland. I have one more night to bid for which is the sunday before we leave out of LAX.

We would like to stay somewhere near the beach or within a very short drive to santa monica pier.

However we are cheap :)... and would only like to spend 40-55 bucks for a 3 star or higher. As this is what we have been paying for every other night we've bid on (from disneyland to san diego).

I just want a nice place with maybe a max 10 min drive to the santa monica pier. Any advice? Or if not santa monica a very nice other beach.

Advice?

Thanks,

Jen

What date is this for, Bambie1?

Santa Monica hotels cost more than hotels near Disney so I'm not confident you'll win a 3* in SM for $55 or less. If $55 is your limit then I suggest you bid $55. Maybe you'll be lucky since you're bidding for a Sunday night, which is often the slowest day of the week.

Remember that Priceline's zone is called Santa Monica-Marina Del Rey, not just Santa Monica, and you could win a hotel in MDR too.

If $55 isn't enough for Santa Monica zone I think you may be able to get a 3* or higher for under $55 in the Manhattan-Redondo Beach zone.

Got it on my first bid.

Redondo beach 3.5 start Crowne Plaza for one night on Dec 14th 2008.

I based my bidding on the fact that i'd seen in won many times for approx $55 or $53 and gave it a shot for 50 and won! I'm going to call the hotel to see if we can get an ocean view :) its not santa monica like orignally i wanted but its close enough to the beach.

Thanks!
