Jfultz81 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 I'm needing 2 nights in August (8/25-8/27). I know that summer months are busier and more expensive. I've tried bidding on PL a few times already (I'm anxious to get everything booked). I've gone as high as $143/night for 4* in Seattle Center (Space Needle). I'd consider 4* in Pike Place, but I saw the post about one of them being far away. I'd like the Pan Pacific, but I'm not sure when to start bidding. I'm afraid of waiting too long and then everything will be booked.Thanks for any help!

Jfultz81 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 We're hoping to spend no more than $150 + tax/night. We're staying one night pre-cruise (and haven't decided on doing PL for it) and two nights post. Our total budget for 3 nights is $550.

Jfultz81 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Got it, thanks! Well, I noticed today that the price booked directly for Pan Pacific has gone down to $199, so I don't know what a good price to start at now, or even if they've released rooms to PL yet.
thereuare Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 If you were to win a 4* hotel in this zone at $150 would this be considered enough of a deal for you?
