San Pedro and Priceline

[Larry613]

In the past I've seen that if you bid a 3-star hotel on Priceline in San Pedro the only two that are eligible are the Crowne Plaza and the Doubletree. However, I note that Priceline lists both 3 and 3-and-a-half star hotels for San Pedro. Does this mean you now have to restrict your bid to the 3-and-a-half star hotels if you want to be sure to get one of these two hotels? Has anyone bid a 3-star hotel in this area and gotten something other than Crown Plaza or Doubletree?

Thanks in advance

When I placed my bid for San Pedro, I selected a 3*. When my bid was accepted there was a messege congratulating me on my upgrade to a 3 1/2*. It was the Crowne Plaza.

I hope that helps..BTW, I bid 65.00 for Sept 09.

I did the same thing as Pammy. Got the Crowne Plaza for 65 a night plust taxes for June 6.

The Crowne Plaza and Double Tree in San Pedro are both 3-1/2 star hotels now. The only 3* hotel listed is the Queen Mary which in Long Beach area.

You are correct...I suspect to bid 3* may give you the Holiday Inn on Gaffey St. in San Pedro.

Actually I got turned down @ $65.00 for a three-star on May 9. Wife then tried with her ID at $70 and got upgrade to Crowne Plaza. Thanks for the input, all.

I think the Holiday Inn was listed as a 2*, hope they don't try to give it out as a 3*. :rolleyes:

Just got back to East Coast after our NCL cruise last week & stayed at CP pre-cruise, winning bid was $65 based a 3 star, upgraded to 3.5 star at no extra costs. We called hotel directly 2 nights before & advise them of our mid-night arrival from non-stop flight & to hold for non-smoking King. SuperShuttle dropped us off - a 25 minutes ride from LAX - and our checkin took less than 3 minutes, bellman was available & offer to help if needed. Our room was on the Club level - 10/F with exclusive access and was very comfortable, had a good night rest - couldn't ask for more with the free shuttle to the nearby pier (a good 15 minutes walk w. luggage)

in the late morning.

 

I wouldn't mind paying extra $5 if that's all it will take to win the priceline bid, it's all supply & demand when the lowest AAA/AARP rate was $150 a night + taxes/fees.

 

Enjoyed the CP, we highly recommend it.

That is a great rate! I have not seen it this low for CP in San Pedro. The lowest I've seen is $65 a night.
