Started bidding at $80 and added the following zones, increasing bids by $5 each time: Bothell, $85 Des Moines, $90 Kent, $95 Took a break and tried again a couple days later. Started at $95 Downtown: Bothell, $100 Des Moines, $105 Kent, $110 Kirkland, $115 Renaissance is a pretty nice hotel but I always hope to get something closer to the shopping areas. Still beats the Edgewater for location though. And yes, I used your PRICELINE link.
