just a follow-up... ending up catching up with an friend from high school who moved to Seattle - so we crashed at his house and didn't end up needing a hotel...

Thanks for the reply, thereuare. After seeing the successful bid of WillTravel, I may try another bid at the end of the week. If that doesn't work out - I'll give the HOTWIRE link a try!

Trying for a hotel Downtown for 9/8 to 9/10 Here's what I've tried, so far: 2.5* I've bid up to $90 with no luck Rates are: BW Exec - Sold Out HI Express - 125.10 Homewood Suites - 179 Summerfield Suites - 179 2* I've bid up to $75 - Don't really want the Inn at Queen Anne - but it hasn't come up lately and has zero availablility. Rate are: Queen Anne - Not Available online Springhill Suites - 149 Seems like the typical busy weekend - but the prices aren't that out of whack. What would you guys suggest - bid higher or just keep re-trying at these bids for the next week? I guess I should add that there's a group of us attending the ballgames on Saturday/Sunday, so we would prefer to stay Downtown and not have to drive/cab to Downtown...

Thanks! I was fully expecting to have to use a few free re-bids, so it surprised me too. We cancelled our trip to Orlando - so I was pleased to get this on such short notice...
