Hotwire Hotel: 4* Seattle (Downtown-Pike Place) Westin

[bonny]

I'm looking for a 4* (or more) in Seattle Downtown for 9 - 13 Sept. HOTWIRE gives me one in Pike Place for $135 with Smoke Free, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, Internet.

What is it most likely, the Westin, the Sheraton, or the Renaissance?

Do you think that the price might fall if I wait longer?

It could be the Westin, Sheraton or Renaissance. I'd lean towards the Sheraton or Westin being more likely, but any of the three would be a possibility.

I want a 4* hotel for Seattle for 09/9 - 09/13. My bids were $90, $95 and $100 and all were rejected. I've done all 3 bids today and added areas Space Needle and Lake Union to the bid (both don't have 4* so the bids were the same but the price).

Could I be successful with the same prices tomorrow? Or should I go up?

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread... we'll edit your topic title and move your thread if necessary once a hotel is won.

Nobody can say... it could go down, or it could go up... or it could disappear entirely (either replaced by a different 4* hotel or no 4* hotels showing in this zone at all)

For more on this subject see the 'bid early or close to check-in' in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Thanks for your help!

I tried again up to $115 and all rejected.

If I add some areas which seem not to have any 4* (like Airport, University, you can't select 4* for these areas alone), just in order to be able to rebid, is there any risk that they will still get me a 4* in such an area?

No, If there's isn't any 4* bidding available can you use the zones for your re-bidding.

There shouldn't be any risk, as long as you're using the correct method to determine your re-bid zones (see: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained) and be sure to double check them before every bidding cycle.

The price for the HOTWIRE 4* dropped from $135 (earlier today) to $98. I booked immediately, it's the Westin (amenities as in my first post).

Before that I tried to bid up to $126 on PRICELINE but no success. Thanks for your help.
