pdxtoSEA Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Looking for 3* deal for Seattle downtown, university, or close buy for <$100/night on 9/4 & 9/5.Is this unreasonable? No luck on multiple Priceline bids thus far. Thanks Link to comment

pdxtoSEA Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Unfortunately I wasn't able to make that 2014 trip work out - but I was successful for this similar search in 2013 for 7/2-7/4 for $84/night at Residence Inn Lake Union. I tried multiple bid strategy yesterday up to $97 but no luck. Will try some again today. Thank you Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 At current rates i think you'll need to be closer to the $120-$140 area to be success for a 3* or better for these dates around the downtown area.

On Priceline express I see a $145/night 4* Downtown Pike Place with these listed: •Business Center•Restaurant•Free Internet•Fitness Center Could this be Motif Seattle? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 ... for <$100/night on 9/4 & 9/5.On Priceline express I see a $145/night...The W Seattle Hotel would be my guess for this one... but are you willing to pay $145/nite at this point in time?

pdxtoSEA Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Not yet - just thinking if I can't get anything close for 3* this seems like an option if I continue to have no luck bidding. Thank you Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Not yet...Researching hotels can be a time consuming process and the hotels that are currently available may not be the ones offered once you're ready to commit to a purchase (or the price may change substantially, no longer making it an option)... please only ask for hotels to be research that are within your budget and that you're ready to act upon.

I know I will need a room during this time and dates are not flexible - just don't want to wait too long if prices continue to increase over time. Thank you Link to comment
Romelle Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 My grandson and I made THIS ONE work. I think it might be a Hot.wire offer for your dates at $80. The hotel provides 24/7 shuttle to/from SEA airport and also the Tukwila light rail station. From there we rode the light rail into Seattle and back. The shuttle insists it is 9 minutes from the airport. The light rail run is 38" from the airport (and 34" from Tukwila) to the last station downtown Seattle - Westlake. We even took in a Mariners/KC evening game. Returned to the hotel via light rail to the Tukwila station and hotel shuttle from there. IIRC, the 24/7 translates into hourly to/from the Tukwila station and every 1/2 hour to/from the airport. It just takes a little planning and communication with the front desk to make arrangements. The free breakfast is billed as "continental", but includes waffles/eggs/sausage and lots of other items, plus a generous time from of from 6am to 10am. Nice large well-equipped clean rooms. Maybe a 20 minute walk to a huge shopping mall where my grandson could finally get a Chipotle's fix. Romelle Link to comment
pdxtoSEA Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thank you - will have to look into this - appreciate the info Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 pdxtoSEA, If you see something of interest let us know and we'll try to research/confirm it for you, but it looks like rates downtown are moving further away from your desired goal. Do you have a back-up reservation in place to protect yourself from rates rising further (and that you cancel should you ultimately be successful with PRICELINE or HOTWIRE)?

pdxtoSEA Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 OK - so no luck bidding up to $135.I do see a 3-star in University District for $138 on Hotwire - I am assuming this is either University Inn or Silver Cloud Thinking I may just go with this as I am getting no luck bidding - Any suggestions? Thank you!

AaronJB Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'd guess this would be a possible match for the University Inn. If so, that property certainly gets great reviews.

Romelle Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 If you do go with Hotwire today, don't miss that $10 off noted in the heading and in Moderator signatures. Romelle Link to comment
pdxtoSEA Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks - saw that and was about to order but called another hotel and was able to get a corporate discount for a downtown hotel. May try bidding again but now have a cancelable reservation. Now to find the cheapest parking downtown as it is ridiculously expensive. Thanks to all for the tips! Link to comment

pdxtoSEA Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Where, and for how much, is your back-up reservation? Fairmont @ $163/night Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm seeing what looks like the University Inn for $149/nite if your goal is something cheaper (or in the University District) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
