Priceline Hotel: 2* Los Angeles (Redondo) Quality Inn Hermosa Beach

[nightmusic]

Hello,

Thanks for the earlier help.

I am stuck now, leaving next week for LA, and need a hotel from 11/15-11/19.

Looks like I am going to have to bid on another hotel in the LA area besides Residence Inn (no availablity on PL at this hotel for my dates).

I am considering LAX area (am thinking I can get the Westin/LAX) but would love to stay in Santa Monica but do not want a 3* like the Marriot. Can I please get some feedback for Santa Monica hotels (a nice one, hopefully) - I will have a rental car and would love free parking if at all possible... And I'm thinking as much as I would love a full kitchen like Res Inn, there is no hope at another hotel.

Any guidance or bidding suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PS: thereuare - will definitely be using the link!

PS: I am reading, if I am correct, that a 4* in the LAX area would be the Westin (seeing the successful bid of 40.00/per nite). Is this correct or could I end up somewhere else?

Thanks much-

As far as I know the Westin is the only 4* in the airport zone that comes up on Priceline but this could change.I have won it in the past for $50.A few posts have the Sheraton now as a 4* when using Hotwire.

Well, I tried PL bids of 50.00, then 55.00, 57 then 60.00 w/no luck for a 4* at LAX. Thought for sure I would get the Westin, but nothing.

Can anyone help me w/any bid suggestions.

Do not mind a 3* but do not want to end up at holiday inn... Santa Monica would be great, but no holiday inn...

Thanks in advance.

Dates needed: 11/15-11/19

Did you bid up to $60 or $65 for a 4*?

Do you have a back-up reserved?

What about the Sheraton Gateway LAX for $75? If this is a possibility i would bid 4* again up to $75 and if unsuccessful then take the Sheraton Gateway at that price.

Hello - I did post to this topic and cannot find the post so here it is again.

Cannot bid on PL as I am out of bids now (I did rebid and rebid adding areas w/no 4* hotels, with none left at the moment), but did go up to 65.00, w/no luck for a 4* at LAX on PL. So to be sure

for me to get the Sheraton Gateway - what do I do? If it's on hotwire, per last posts re: this topic I am assuming that the 77.00/night is the Sheraton Gateway, yes?

Thanks very much, guess it's time for me to purchase since I am leaving for LA next week... Sure am surprised not to have gotten the Westin at 65.00 per some recent posts here, guess one never knows...

Would it be risky to wait fothe 72 hours or since time is a bit short, should I purchase on hotwire now?

[nightmusic]

PS: One more question: if anyone knows of a suite hotel w/full kitchen in santa monica, marina del ray or manhattan beach, can you please suggest anything for a hotwire purchase? Sure would be lovely to have these amenties along with free parking if anyone knows of anything... dates 11/15-11/19 - something compartable to residence inn...?

Thanks very much, this forum is so helpful!

The Sheraton Gateway was what i suspect is being offered thru Hotwire. Full details on the amenities can be found in the second post of HOTWIRE HOTEL LIST.

I think it's backwards to try and find a suite hotel in the area and then try to find it on Hotwire... better to see if a suite hotel is offered on Hotwire and then try to identify it.

Thanks, thereuare...

OK another question, the Westin LAX and Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles are both available (hotwire) for my dates 11/15-11/19 - but am not seeing what looks like the Westin LAX when I actually pull up hotels for LAX. Am I missing something?

Any suggestions for figuring out the Westin on hotwire, or is it just a chance and I will get one of them?

Thanks much:)

[thereuare]

Huh? :)

[nightmusic]

:)

Am trying to find the Westin and the Sheraton Gateway both on hotwire but am only seeing Gateway Sheridan when I look under 'hotels' -yet under pacakages both hotels are there.....

Make sense?

[thereuare]

For a variety of reasons Hotwire may not show you the Westin when looking under the hotel product. The most common reason would be that the Westin is not the least expensive hotel at that star level in the region. Oversimplifying things somewhat, thru the hotel product Hotwire will only show you the least expensive hotel at each star level.

If it were me I would wait the 72 hours and try again for the westin and if you do go with Hotwire clear your cookies before you buy to see if the price goes down.

Thanks so much, will do... And will post all results.

Hello,

Well, am ready to place a bid for a hotel since I am leaving this week for LA...have a question: am now wanting to see if I can get a 3* in Santa Monica (11/15-11/19). Can someone please suggest where to start my bid on PL, and any other suggestions? Am hoping not to end up a holiday inn, we shall see...

Thanks much, if this doesn't work, am going for the springhill suites/torrance on PL...

[thereuare]

You have no re-bids when bidding 3* in this zone.... what is the price of your next best alternative?

[nightmusic]

Actually bid 65.00, w/no luck for a 3*/Santa Monica for 11/15-11/19 (and also had no luck at 65.00 for a 4*/LAX/Westin either w/PL.

Bid on a 2* in Manhattan Beach/Redondo Beach are (PL) - here are the results w/a winning bid:

Congratulations, you got your price of $43 for a 2-star hotel room.

-Actually looks and sounds (reviews trip advisor) like a great find for the money!

Thanks so much for all the help w/this one, time was getting close so am thrilled to have a place to stay near the beach:) Will post a review when I return...
