theQ Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've been bidding periodically over the last month on priceline for 2 rooms in the Seattle downtown 4* for a 6/25 check in and 6/28 checkout without success. Originally started bidding at $100 and with re bids went to $125. More recently I've started at $125 and have bid to $160. Getting close to travel dates so I'd like to get something booked. Any suggestions? Would consider a lesser star level if necessary. Thanks. Link to comment

theQ Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I followed up on my previous threads and also added a win for Vancouver, Canada which is the second leg of this trip. In Seattle I'm looking for 4* hotel in the downtown area 6/25 to 6/28 and have bid on PRICELINE for: Downtown-Pikes Place Downtown- Seattle Center Downtown- Financial District Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think you're likely looking at the following price points, based upon current rates: 2* - $115-$135 2.5* - $140-$160 3* - $160-$180 3.5* - $170-$190 4* - $250 area Let us know your thoughts and which star rating/maximum bid you'd like to try for first.

theQ Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Change of plans on our trip to Seattle so only ended up needing one night. I bid $110 for 4* Seattle Downtown Pike Place...rejected. Added Lake Union which only has up to 3* hotels and bid $120..rejected. Added Space Needle zone which does have 4* properties and bid $125 which was accepted. $125 bid was per room of course. Tax and fees per room is $23.79 Very happy with the win! After my bid was accepted I was given the option to add additional nights for the same price. I've never done that, but wonder if I could have added the additional dates I was originally trying to book? Thanks for the assistance! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Congrats on your success. :) Very nice win for this property and hope you are looking forward to your stay. The "add a night" option always shows, but if you try, it may say no or cost more money.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
