boosha Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Looking for a 4* or a 3 1/2* hotel for one night in Downtown-Pike Place or Seattle Center area. Using the PRICELINE link as we have always used in the past. Here's how the bidding went.4* Downtown $50- rejected(added Lake Union- no 4* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $54- rejected(added Lynnwood/Edmonds- no 4* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $58- rejected(added Space Needle/Seattle Center- no 4* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $60- rejected(added 3 1/2 *'s) $60- rejected(added Airport- no 4* or 3 1/2* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $64- rejected(added South Everett- no 4* or 3 1/2* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $66- rejected(added North Everett- no 4* or 3 1/2* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $70- rejected(added Kirkland- no 4* or 3 1/2* hotels there & allows for a rebid) $75- ACCEPTEDSilver Cloud Hotel BroadwayWe're happy with the price but a bit unhappy that we won the bid for a hotel literally on the edge of downtown, on the other side of I-5, a 30 minute walk from the ferry! Wish we would have purchased the insurance for $5 so we could cancel. Oh well, comes with the territory when using a service like Priceline.
AaronJB Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Congrats on your success. :)Nice rate for this property, although sorry to hear that the location isn't optimal. Additionally, the insurance doesn't allow you to cancel because you don't like the hotel result - it's only for "doctor's note"-style situations.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
