Travel4fun Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 :) Tried Down Town Seattle for September - only need 1 Friday Night. Is it too early or is this just a difficult area to get. I thought it might be cheaper in September since traditionally it's slow season when the kids go back to school. :)

Travel4fun Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 First Bid was $95.00, RE-Bid $98.00 - now waiting to try $100-$110. Should I wait a few weeks?
slruud Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 The way I understand it, is if you are bidding for a 4* hotel in downtown Seattle, you have a total of 8 bids...downtown and 7 free rebids as none of the other zones have 4* hotels.Hope not to step on anyone's toes, but giving Thereuare a break tonight so he can play with daughter.SteveR

Travel4fun Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Posted July 13, 2005 Hi - Everyone - thanks for all your help. Decided to try An Airport Hotel instead. Got Doubletree for $35.00 - Easier as it's just one night and we needed to pick up a rental Car anyway and get in late on the 9th. Thanks again for all your help. :)
thereuare Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Enjoy your stay... but you should learn about re-bidding for future bidding attempts as it will help you in obtaining the best price.Let us know if you'd like additional help.
