Tried biding downtown up to $140, wasn't getting anything so tried near the airport. Tried $90 to start (should have started lower!) and won right away. 112.97 after taxes.

Started with 3.5 stars/SEA zone/$42 Added 3*, no go Added Des Moines zone (nothing about 3*) and increased bid to $45, success! Great deal considering cheapest rate online for this hotel is $179! (used the PRICELINE link, love this board to help me with my thrifty hotel needs!)

I just booked 4* Seattle (Downtown-Pike Place) Renaissance for $97 after clicking the PRICELINE link in this forum. Started at $70 and worked my way up in $5 increments adding all the zones that don't have 4 stars in them. Saw other had one at just over 95 so gave 97 a try. It's a long weekend in Canada so that may be driving the price up a little, but still not a bad deal for the hotel, will try and find a cheaper garage to park my car in overnight.

Just booked a 4* hotel in Vancouver for March 23, 2010 to March 27, 2010. Used the PRICELINE link on this website. Got the Renaissance Vancouver Hotel Harbourside for $72/night. Started at $64 and steadily increased bid by $2 while adding zones which I knew didn't have any 4* hotels and thus wouldn't affect my bidding. Added North Van, Van South/City Hall, Coquitlam & Langley I think. Love PRICELINE, works great. Would appreciate if this site would further break down Canada by cities, or at least by province to make viewing easier.

Used PRICELINE link. Started at $65 with 4* USW-Nob Hill. Added USE and rebid at $70. Offer was accepted at Hilton SF. Wanted to give Hotel Nikko a try, seemed like a likely option from previous posts but can't complain for $70!
