paulsblake Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Unsuccessful bidding for 5/27 thus far;$70 Seattle (downtown)$75 added UW$80 added Lake U$85 added Bellevue$90 added BothellWondering if perhaps I should drop my expectations down to a 3.5*, as it seem Seattle is a little pricey. Any suggestions?Thanks,Paul Link to post
thereuare Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 It may only take another $10 to be successful for a 4* in this area.If you lower to 3*, it has often been said that HOTWIRE may become a better option if location is important to you. All of the known priceline 4 star hotels in the downtown zone have a good location of being near "Pike's Place Market", however, once you get into the 3* category some of the hotels are near the Space Needle area (somewhat less of a desirable zone).HOTWIRE divides the downtown area into two different zone (Pike Place Area and Space Needle Area) so at the less than 4* rating Hotwire often becomes a better option for many users.Let us know how you want to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

paulsblake Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Continued down the same path;$95 added Airport (was offered a chance to rebid without changes for add'll $22, and refused)$100 adding Bothell for a victory4* Seattle Sheraton Hotel for the 27th.I never really felt Hotwire was offering a 4* for less than $100. Also realized I couldn't turn back to a 3* without waiting the 72 hours, as I'd already bid on other zones containing 3* hotels. Now - I'm still looking for the 29th in Seattle. Keep ya'all posted!Thanks,Paul Link to post
thereuare Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Looks like it was only another $10 that it needed.... glad you were successful.Once you're read to post for the nite of the 5/29 (either needing help or a successful win) please start a NEW TOPIC since it's for different dates than the one posted here in this thread.Enjoy your stay (and as i always recommend to Seattle visitors looking for value, check out the Early Bird Half Price Lounge Menu at Brasa.... excellent!
