marmago Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 I have been looking for a hotel for 2 nights, starting 10/20. I missed out on a good deal at the Vintage Park a few weeks back and have been using the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links from this board to check prices since then, not really expecting to find anything yet, but won a room at the Renaissance for $115 tonight.Started bidding at $100, which failed, but got an immediate invitation to rebid at $128 without adding zones or stars. Figured this was a good sign, so I chose not to do this but started adding zones (Bothell, Lake Union, Lynwood) and going up in $5 increments. $115 was as high as I was going to go for now and was surprised to win a room at the Renaissance on this last bid!This hotel wouldn't have been my first choice based on location (we were counting on walking a lot, and this hotel is at the top of a steep incline), but that's the risk I took for a good deal :) Overall happy with the win, especially considering we're still about two months out from the trip.
