Bid price $56 Taxes and Service Fees $15.55 Total Charges: $71.55 My goal was a room for <$61 before taxes. Low price was my priority. I really wanted a room in Lake Union or UW / Northgate but was willing to move outward if needed. Started with 3* and used free rebid zones (Everett, Bothell, etc.) for $45, $55, $61 . I didn't expect to get a 3*, but these bids have to be done first. Bids 2.5* UW/Northgate $48 FAIL 2.5* UW/Northgate + Lake Union $55 FAIL 2.5* UW/Northgate + Lake Union + Everett $61 FAIL (Everett was the only free rebid for 2.5 stars) 2* UW/Northgate $42 FAIL 2* UW/Northgate + Lake Union $46 FAIL 2* UW/Northgate + Lake Union + Downtown $50 FAIL 2* UW/Northgate + Lake Union + Downtown + Bellevue $56 SUCCESS The Internet price for the Extended StayAmerica Seattle-Bellevue is $129.99, so I guess that this is a pretty good price. However, I didn't really get the ideal area I wanted and I didn't sneak up on the price for the area I ended up with. It's possible that the room I got might have been offered for cheaper than I got it for. Is there a way that I could have known that the cheapest property in an acceptable area was in Bellevue? How did I do? Any advice for better bidding in the future? CycleGirl
