valencia Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I started bidding in this zone at 4*.. $45, rejected.Then dropped to 3.5* at $43...rejected.Then 3* at $43..accepted. I copied a low winning bid I saw. Can't imagine I could have gotten it lower, though, but when they take the first bid you often wonder, don't you!Had been bidding all evening with free bids and numerous max combinations for Bev. Hills, Santa Monica and Brentwood up to $69 with no luck or counteroffers.Then decided to just go for the inexpensive rooms at the airport. There was also a 3* on Hotwire at LAX for $59 which is most likely also the Radisson.Parking was going to be an issue in almost every area, so at least there is self park nearby for $10 here, and valet with in and out services for $20.Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $43.00 Subtotal: $86.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $20.09 Total Charges*: $106.09 I used your link, of course.
