Need a room before heading down Oregon Coast but wasn't willing to spend too much. Started bid at $45 and went up by a couple of dollars each time. Added all the zones without 3* and bid was accepted at $55.

Room Subtotal: $55.00 (USD)

Taxes and Fees: $15.82 (USD)

Total Room Cost: $70.82 (USD)

Started bid at $55, added other zones with no 3.5*. Accepted at $82.

Despite the distance from downtown Bellevue, I'm happy with it. Stayed there last year and enjoyed the amenities esp the underground gated parking.

Successfully bid for 4 nites in Portland, OR at $70/night.

Total after fees/taxes = $82.51/night.

Tried for 4* (downtown) & 3.5* (downtown, Pdx and S. Waterfront), also added areas without 4 or 3.5* to increase chances. Started bid at $50, increased by a few dollars each time and was accepted at $70.

The only issue is that parking is >$30 per night, but around the corner of the hotel, free street parking is avail from 7pm-8am.

Thanks betterbidding & people who posted. Your posts and tips helped me lots =).
