Priceline Hotel: 3* Seattle (Airport SEA) Hilton Airport

[lindisfarne]

A friend got the rate of $65 for one night at the Hilton Convention Center at the SEA airport on 8/14/07 (Hilton Seattle Airport And Conference Center, Seattle Airport (SEA), 17620 Pacific Highway South, Seattle, Washington 98188-4001). They have a free shuttle from the airport (free bottled water was on board) and the driver was very friendly and helpful with luggage).

Preference was for Lake Union or Bothell, but bids up to $70/night (starting in the low 40s and increasing in $3-$5 increments) weren't accepted for those areas (using DT as a "free" zone under assumption that hotels would cost more (plus DT would also have been acceptable) so she tried adding the airport district, beginning bidding in the high $50s.

Sorry I don't have more details but she didn't keep track - she had lots of time to wait so she bid over a period of about 2 weeks and raised bids slowly.

The Hilton was quite nice, although parking is going to set you back $18/night. The Clarion Hotel is right next door and allows for "airport parking" (for some Hilton rooms, their lot may be closer) and will charge about $10.50/night (with taxes), but they do limit it (seminars the next day need the parking) and so get there as early as possible. They give you a card to put on your dashboard so you do have "in and out" privileges. They didn't time-stamp the card, only put the date on it, so you would have until midnight of the last day to park.
