Quick facts

Booking for a playoff date: how it actually works

Playoff hotel demand in Los Angeles moves in two spikes. The first hits when a home game becomes possible (a series lead, a clinch scenario); the second — much bigger — hits the moment the date is official, usually just days before the game. Rooms near Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and in Downtown Los Angeles go first, then demand ripples outward.

The play: book a refundable room during the first spike, before certainty. If your team doesn't get the game, cancel free. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.
