Used your PRICELINE link for a little Easter shopping in Seattle, April 2-4, 2010. Was hoping for the Hilton, but got the nearby Sheraton instead. Took my chances on a slightly higher bid ($57), and overpaid I'm sure (looking back at past wins, the Sheraton could probably have been had for as little as $50). Oh well, I knew the risks going in (thanks to the advice of your forum members!), but thought I'd stick my thumb out and go for it!

This is the first place I stop before booking any hotel, you guys are invaluable!!

Thanks tilepusher, I suspected as much.

Hi guys,

At the risk of wearing out my welcome, here's another question: are there any hints on how to win the Bellevue Hilton over the Bellevue Sheraton through PRICELINE? I see the Hilton going for $55 or $58, and the Sheraton going for $45-$50. Would a good tactic be to just bid $55 and up for a 3.5*?

Hi gang,

Has anyone successfully bid on the newish Residence Inn Bellevue (the one near the 405, between the Sheraton and Hilton)? The only references to the Residence Inn I see in the Priceline forum is the one in Redmond.
