Priceline Hotel: Seeking tips for Priceline bid for Seattle hotels

[pdxhistorian]

Hello. This is my first time posting and I hope I'm doing it right. I am looking for 4* hotels in Zones 13 and 14 in Seattle for 2 people (1 room) for 1/18/13-1/21/13 (3 nights). Price range $85-95/night. I am shooting for the Pan Pacific in Zone 14 (it's the only 4* in the zone) but it may be a long shot. Thanks! (Also willing to try Hotwire if it makes more sense.)

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Please provide the name/s of the zone/s of interest rather than the numbers and we would be happy to offer suggestions on how to proceed. Have you made any bids yet? (If so, please provide the star rating, max price and zone.)

Sorry about that! Zone 13 is "Seattle Center - Space Needle" and Zone 14 is "Seattle Downtown - Pike Place." I have not made any bids yet.

So... I am looking for 4* hotels in "Seattle Center - Space Needle" and "Seattle Downtown - Pike Place" for 2 people (1 room) for 1/18/13-1/21/13 (3 nights). Price range $85-95/night. I am shooting for the Pan Pacific in Seattle Center - Space Needle (it's the only 4* in the zone) but it may be a long shot.

Thanks!

What appears to be the Pan Pacific is offered on HOTWIRE for $125/nite... did you want to go over your budget to increase your chances of receiving this property or do you want to try bidding on PRICELINE?

If you want to first try PRICELINE, did you want to first bid the Space Needle zone up to your limit before including the Pike Plaza zone... or is your goal the least expensive 4* or better in either zone?

Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
