Advice needed-Hollywood hotel
 

We have 3 nights booked at the Renaissance Hollywood, the first 2 nites are a package deal at $369, which include full breakfast 2 mornings & 2 tickets to Universal Studios, the 3rd night is at a rack rate of $169, w/o breakfast.<BR>Anyone have advice on how to ask & negotiate for a better price on the 3rd night, reservations have already been made...thanks!

You should just use Priceline and get a good hotel at a lower rate for all three nights.

They have a $129 weekend special listed on www.marriott.com<BR><BR>Ask for rate I - 24

The Renaissance Hollywood is a very nice hotel which is very popular right now. You're getting a nice hotel in a central location, so I doubt you can get much of a deal with them.

Today I called the Renaissance Hollywood & spoke to the front desk & they said I had to speak to their in-house reservation about this, so they switched me to that, but they said they could not help me. So I called Marriott's 800 number reservation, I explained to the clerk that I thought I should get a better rate of $169 for the 3rd night, she said she'd speak to her supervisor & when she came back to me, she said we could have the 3 nights for a total of $420, plus breakfast & the Universal tickets! I was about dumbfounded & I asked her to send me this price for the 3 nights as a confirmation in the mail, she said she would. So my fingers are crossed that there won't be a big mix up at the hotel when we check in. I'm glad to hear that it's a nice hotel, hope it's worth the bit of extra money we are spending.

hey,<BR>that's a good deal. I've stayed there, it's very nice. Upgrading to an executive suite would be even nicer, but of course more $$.<BR>have fun!<BR>ann

I'll see if we can get up enough nerve when we check in to ask for a free upgrade to the executive suites, they do look much larger, main concern now is that my reservation is confirmed at $420. <BR>Ann, did you have the buffet breakfast at their Twist restaurant, how did you like it?

Susan,<BR>When we stayed, we ordered breakfast in bed, so can't comment on the restaurant. Ask for an upgrade to the executive suite -- what's the worst they can do, say no?! Good luck, and have a great time :)!<BR>ann
