budd99 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 4-star hotel in Century City - Westwood$123 per night (quad occupancy)Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s)Business Center High-speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby 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. Link to comment
BEAV Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 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$119FitnessPoolRestaurantInternetDid you use different parameters in your search? The property in my search also claimed "8.2 miles from LAX". I wonder if that's a standard response for any hotel in the Century City/Westwood zone??? Link to comment
yellowdog Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 This is strange! I can't get the same hotel to appear on my search. How many rooms/adults/children did you search for? Can you please run a new search and confirm that you still can see this hotel on your search.Yellowdog. Link to comment
budd99 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Ya, I put in 4 adults, 0 children, 1 room. Once the results appeared, I checked 4 stars and up only. Did it now, got 123$ per night again, same result. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 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.Yellowdog. Link to comment

I wonder if that's a standard response for any hotel in the Century City/Westwood zone???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). Link to comment

Interesting that a different combination of 4 people nets different hotels.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? Link to comment
yellowdog Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 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.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog. Link to comment
