Studio with fully-equipped kitchen accommodated our family well for our vacation. Not fancy, but meet our needs. Appreciated the pocket door to divide the studio between the sleeping area and the living room/kitchen. Condos are adjacent to shopping, dining, and free Snowmass shuttle to Aspen where we shopped and then took a free Aspen Shuttle to the Hunter Village trailhead and hiked along a mountain stream. At check-in we were advised that the outdoor pool/hot tub at Lichenhearth were not available due to maintenance so we were given access to the outdoor pool and hot tubs across the street. That was a real treat after a day of strenuous hiking. Overall, a positive experience. Amenities: Airport Shuttle, Pool(s), Laundry Facilities, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby

Our stay at Lichenhearth Condominiums was booked through Hotwire at a "Hotwire hot Rate."

Thanks for your interest and request for clarification about what I posted regarding my winning bid. Here is exactly what is listed in my winning bid confirmation page: Silver Cloud Inn University 5036 25Th Avenue Ne Seattle, WA 98105 206-526-5200 There was nothing between the hotel name and address. I did do yet another hotel search on Priceline to triple check how Priceline has categorized Silver Cloud University. It appears as: Silver Cloud Inn University ***Seattle, WA (Seattle Downtown) It appears from Priceline's categorization and my experience bidding that Priceline really has included this hotel in Seattle Downtown rather than Univ of Washington - Northgate. Strange, but true. You are certainly welcome to do your own search on that. I am delighted to be staying at Silver Cloud Inn University during the busy Labor Day weekend. It looks like a fine hotel.

Thanks for your request for clarification. My bid was indeed for the Silver Cloud Inn University and PRICELINE did have it in the Seattle Downtown zone. I do also understand that on other sites this hotel is listed in the University District. I had initially been bidding in the Northgate area, failed at $99, added downtown and upped my bid by $1 to be successful at $100. Thanks for your interest.

Won 3* Seattle (Downtown) Silver Cloud University for 9/3 to 9/5/2010 $100 rate. Free parking, complimentary breakfast. Excited about stay! Thanks to betterbidding for tips.

Winning bid 2.5* Seattle (Seatac Airport) Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, $45 for 9/5-9/6/2010 on first try based on helpful tips. Thanks!
