WillTravel Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Because this is only 2*, but has a complimentary breakfast, I might guess Inn at Queen Anne. However, no guarantees, but the other ones I can think of in the Space Needle district would be better than 2*. The Springhill Suites is much better, but the Inn at Queen Anne is in a nicer neighborhood (not that Springhill Suites is bad - but it's more of a deserted downtown area). Link to comment
WillTravel Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I just remembered the Travelodge by the Space Needle has a free breakfast, so that could be it also. This is one low-end Seattle hotel I haven't stayed at, but I am sure the Springhill Suites is much nicer than this one too, and I wouldn't say the Travelodge has the neighborhood to recommend it.

lisabarr Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thank you so much for your help. I will pass on the travelodge and maybe try for a priceline bid at 2.5* and hope to get the springhill Suites. If not, its just for one night so whatever we get will be fine. Link to comment

lisabarr Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I would like downtown Seattle for the night of 5/2/08. Ideal would be a suite type situation. Link to comment
WillTravel Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 How many of you will be staying in the room? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 What is your maximum bid?I'll also wait for you to answer WillTravel and for her subsequent reply since she knows the area well and i'm sure asked for a reason.

lisabarr Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Max bid of $125 and there are four of us. I know we could get stuck with one bed, so I am a little nervous. Link to comment
WillTravel Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 HOTWIRE has a 4* for downtown Seattle - PikePlace Market for $129 that works for 2 adults and 2 children. I haven't tried to figure out which one it is.Of all the options, I think this would be most attractive to me, because all the 4* options are quite central, and you would be sure of enough beds (assuming two of you are children). The downside would be no free breakfast, and no suite. For most Seattle downtown hotels, you would be fine getting two beds, but there are a few reported exceptions. I have personally had a good track record getting suite-style hotels with 2.5* Priceline bids, but it's also quite possible you could be "upgraded" to a less desirable 3* hotel. So if you were up to this risk, then bid for a 2.5* hotel. One thing that makes me wonder, though, is that the Pike Street Suites (formerly Summerfield Suites) have still not finished their conversion to become Homewood Suites, so I think there may be fewer suite options available on Priceline than before.

lisabarr Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thank you for all your help, but we did not bid on a room and instead are flying in the day of. Link to comment
