Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Los Angeles (Beverly Hills-West Hollywood) Sofitel

[goldenrule]

I'm a first time user of this Forum. Having read through the posts this seems very valuable. I'm looking at Hotwire for downtown LA hotel 5/12-5/16 and consistently see a 3* for $84: fitness center, restaurant, business center, laundry (!), wifi, and spa (!). 60% recommended, and a 3.5/5.0 on Trip Advisor. Can anyone tell me which hotel this is and if it's any good? Much appreciated.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The property above matches previous reports for the Miyako Hotel Los Angeles so that would be my best guess.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thank you! Having looked at the hotel reviews I don't think I will take that one. Will let the Forum know what I do and the deal I get.

You might be able to win a 4* or 3.5* on PRICELINE for less than the $86 cost of this HOTWIRE 3*.

If one bed is enough (Priceline only guarantees one bed) and you want to try for 4*/3.5* on PRICELINE someone can offer a strategy.

I appreciate all the help everyone has offered. I tried PRICELINE for a Downtown Hotel but didn't have any luck at $105 and $115 for a 4*. To be honest I didn't like the look of the likely 3* and 3.5* hotels Downtown. The problem is - I think - the dates. Those dates in May coincide with USC's graduation ceremonies and several others going on nearby... In the end I booked into the Sofitel West Hollywood on HOTWIRE for $149. A little more than I wanted to pay but at least I knew what I was getting. Thanks again - what a wonderful resource. Oh yes, I did hit the HOTWIRE website via this one.

Congratulations on your success!

While a bit more than you originally set out to pay, glad to see you found something you're happy with and which you can make work well for your needs.

Yes, the amenities shown for the Sofitel were Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Internet & Business Center. Note: the hotel website indicates it has a spa but that was not shown on the HOTWIRE amenities list. Indication was 90% of HOTWIRE users recommended the hotel.

Thank you for the follow-up. The HOTWIRE listings do not necessarily show all the amenities offered.
