Priceline Hotel: 4* Seattle (Downtown) Westin

[njg]

Based on previous bids here, I knew to begin fairly high.

4* Downtown $95.00 rejected, but they counter-offered with a $22.00 increase.

I started over:

4* Downtown + Lake Union $101.00 rejected, but same counter-offer ($22.00 increase)

I started over again:

4* Downtown + Bellvue-Redman $106--accepted.

Check-In Date: Fri, Jul 29, 2005

Check-In Time: After 03:00 PM

Check-Out Date: Mon, Aug 1, 2005

Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM

Your Offer Price: $106.00

Number of Rooms: 2

Number of Nights: 3

Subtotal: $636.00

Taxes & Service Fees:

$105.74

Total Charges: $741.74

I thought the taxes & service fees seemed high, but decided there was nothing I could do about it, so went ahead & submitted the bid.

I am happy with the results.

Thanks again for your service!

Interestingly, I just checked the hotel's web-page and they have a special offer of buy 2 nights, get the third night free (week-ends) When I searched for these dates it still came up $40.00 higher. The conditions are similar to Priceline--non refundable, pay now, etc. The only advantage would be if you wanted to be certain to get the Westin & chose your room type. And, I guess you would save the Priceline fee. I am happy with my results, though.

So without the board you may not have known where to start... something to think about.

thereuare,

Yes, I have read the support page info. I have it on my favorites to remind me to use your links. The truth is that the main thing I "buy" on the Internet is Priceline rooms.

Is there a way to just donate $$$?

Also, I have made an effort to write down the details of my bids & share them, for whatever that is worth.
