Priceline Hotel: Need help with Seattle hotel

[izmeeh]

I'll be arriving at the Seattle Amtrak Station at 10:30 PM on 7/1/13. My car would be about 20 minutes away at 22nd Ave SW. I have a few options and need opinions. I can spend a night in Seattle in a hotel or in the car. I can leave Seattle and find a lower cost, decent hotel on the way to San Jose, California.

1) Will I be able to find a 2* and above hotel below $50/night in the Seattle area or that's just not going to happen?

2) Within an hour or so from Seattle, is there an area that is close to the freeway that people generally get winning bids below $50?

Thanks.

Used the links to search.

2* below $50 is possible, but some of the reviews aren't very positive. With priceline bidding, do you think I can get a 3* under $50?

What do you think?

Hotwire has a 2* hotel in the Auburn - Federal Way area for $42

I think there may be more amenities associated with this property. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click this offer to get to the details page, then on the details page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?

I think that under $50 for a 3* would be a difficult win with the current rates. But please try, it's free and fun ;)

The Cedars Inn Auburn would be my best guess for this one.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thanks, thereuare. Going to that hotel will take us on a different route so that won't work. I guess I'll bring a tent on this trip.

Are there any other listings of interest in acceptable zone/s?

The SEA airport is about 15 miles south of Seattle, just off I-5. While it depends on the date, bids for airport hotels can work for $50.

There can be a charge for parking, so you will want to consider that. With Hotwire, you might be able to select for free parking.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. We've decided to drive home instead of staying a night in Seattle.
