Priceline Hotel: 4* Los Angeles (Beverly Hills-West Hollywood) Andaz West Hollywood

[retlaw]

Started bidding through the PRICELINE link at $85 on a 4* hotel in Beverly Hills - West Hollywood - rejected

added Culver city and raised to $90 - rejected

added Lawndale and raised tot $95 - rejected

added Redondo and raised to $100 - rejected :)

finally added Hollywood since i didn't really mind sleeping there either and raised tot $102 - got accepted by the Andaz West Hollywood which was my preferred choice of hotel.

Could of probably won also at $101 when looking at the other wins in this area but decided to play safe and add an extra dolllar :)

I have one more question regarding my win. I've got two rooms at the Andaz. Since we are a party of four (no couples) I was wondering wheather it would be a good idea to call ahead to request two beds in our rooms instead of one King or Queen per room (if such rooms even exist at the Andaz?)?

Has anyone got experience with which rooms Priceline-winners generally get apointed to at the Andaz? City-or mountainview? And again, might it be a good idea to call ahead to request a cityview room or not?

In other words: what's their stance towards special room requests from PL-winners?

Thanks for the info.

Grts,

As noted in your other thread, PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed per room in general. You can call the hotel to request 2 beds, but it's the choice of the hotel whether to honor a request or not.

I got 3 nights at $100 and initially was put on the 7th or 8th floor...with 2 beds. I requested immediately for a queen or king and was put on the 11th floor. Both rooms were of the "Hill" view and had no 'balcony'. On the bright side, the 11th floor was the Led Zepplin floor of the old riot hyatt.
