Just to let you know how Priceline was working for me.

I chose four star in the "Glendale-Universal City-Glendale"

the only four star is

http://www.hotelamarano.com/contacts.php

This would be $553 if booked through their website for two night. I Pricelined this for $79/night. After taxes for two nights it came to $185. I did this for 9/30 and 10/1 as well as 10/6 and 10/7. This hotel is still a good 2.5 miles from the venue but you do get a chocolate on your pillow for when you get back from the show.

FYI. 3 star and up in the same "region" at $60 got NOTHING.

    That's very good, but are you planning on renting a car? Cars for a couple of days are $$$. So, we're spending about $155 a night for the Hilton, won't need a car don't have to worry about parking, taxi's, etc. and will take the Shuttle from the airport.

    In LA, I presume? The OP was! I (along with MANY others) have been successful in Chicago, it's worth checking out.

    It looks like they charge $28 day for parking, so if you have a car, be aware of that charge.

    Thanks for the heads up on Priceline usamamasan1, just booked it for 75.00 per night. :D
    It's funny when things change so much
    It's all state of mind

    Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff

    You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...

    Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

    good point. they do however have a shuttle that takes guests to Universal Citywalk and free ride to/from Burbank airport.

    Anyone looking to share a hotel room in LA 6th and 7th night?
  • McJuicyMcJuicy Posts: 752
    just booked hotel via priceline, chose hollywood area cause it's what was suggested by a friend and not too far from universal city - anyway, in case you're still looking...3 stars, hollywood area, $70 per night x 2 nights oct 6 & 7, $168 after taxes landed me Hollywood Heights Hotel, which i expected (based on betterbidding website) and i am satisfied
