Travel information:

8.2 miles to Los Angeles Intl. (LAX)

My educated guess would be the Inter-Continental, this would be great, but I'd like to run this by you guys first, seeing as though I've never booked through hotwire, and would like a little bit more reassurance. I'm willing to take the risk though.

I just entered a search for 2 adults 2 children for check-in Aug 29, check-out Sep 2 and got different results than you;

4* Century City/Westwood

$119

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Internet

Did you use different parameters in your search? The property in my search also claimed "8.2 miles from LAX". I wonder if that's a standard response for any hotel in the Century City/Westwood zone???

This is strange! I can't get the same hotel to appear on my search. How many rooms/adults/children did you search for? Can you please run a new search and confirm that you still can see this hotel on your search.

Ya, I put in 4 adults, 0 children, 1 room. Once the results appeared, I checked 4 stars and up only. Did it now, got 123$ per night again, same result.

Yes, Inter-Continental has previous been reported with this amentie combo so that would be my guess.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase, and let us know how it goes.

Ah, you entered 4 adults 0 kids, while I entered 2 adults and 2 kids. Interesting that a different combination of 4 people nets different hotels.

I've learned two things today, both from this thread:

1. Enterting 4 adults 0 children can produce different hotel results than entering 2 adults 2 children.

2. The comment "8.2 miles from LAX" applies to any hotel within the zone and should not be used to try to determine one hotel from other. From Hotwire: Note: Distances are measured from center of the area (zone).

Ya, I've noticed too. Maybe some hotels charge differently if you have more adults? All I need are 2 double beds (we will be 4 though), has anybody ever tried entering 2 adults to get different results, and then calling the hotel for two double beds?

You can get lucky calling the hotel in advance to request this. But most of the times will they say that this depends on what rooms they have when you arrive.

Let us know what you decide to do.
