erinc1202 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I started at $40 with the highest stars to see what I could get (first time on priceline) and was accepted at the La Quinta Inn Market Square. We are taking a road/moving trip from New Orleans to Seattle, and need inexpensive & moderate accomodations on the way. We are very happy with the results! This forum was VERY helpful.Thank you.

thereuare Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!What do you mean you "started with the highest stars" as there are higher rated hotels than this in the Downtown/Riverwalk zone.Also, what are the date(s) of your stay?Thanks.
