I am a little bit confused by the last reply. If you want to bid let us know if we can use $99 as the maximum bid and if using 2* as the minimum star rating, if you want to first try higher star ratings up to your limit before lowering your star rating OR if the least expensive 2* or better would be the goal for this overnite. It sounds like you would bid for me. Please clarify. Last night I did try for the Space Needle and Pike Place up to $99 for 3.5* without luck.

Yes, I am aware of that. This is just my backup hotel if I can't get something thru bidding. I am hoping I can do better than $75 for a room with a shared bath. I am trying to keep it under $99.

I was only bidding on Pike Place but I could expand to the Space Needle zone. The backup is the Moore Hotel with a shared bath for $75. I would be willing to go to $75 if a 2* is better than the Moore. Any suggestions on what is a reasonable bid for a 2* and what I would likely get? Is last minute bidding (say within 72 hours) very successful? Would prefer something nicer if possible and would be willing to go up to $90.

I did as instructed. I also bid on a 2* in downtown Seattle for $50. with no luck. I guess I can only wait 24 hours and increase my bid. Any suggestions per my first post would be appreciated.

I am going to be in Seattle one night leaving on the Amtrak train early in the morning. I have tried a few bids without success. It looks like the 3.5* rooms are over $100 for 8/17 Friday night. If I wait until the last minute, I have a backup hotel, would it be likely the prices will drop? When bidding at the last minute what would last minute bidding be, 3 days before or the week before? Otherwise what would you recommend bidding for a 2.5* in the downtown area (Pike Place). We want to be somewhat close to the Amtrak Station on King St.
