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...

Won this last night. on my first bid...
