Priceline Hotel: 2* Seattle (University-Northgate) Extended Stay America

[Colfax]

A new hotel for the Seattle Hotel List.

Extended Stay America Northgate

13300 Stone Avenue North

Seattle, WA 98133

This area wasn't my first choice but I was bidding the night before my arrival and failed up to my $55-60 limit in several other zones.

Rejected bids:

$60/2.5* Lake Union

$60/2.5* Downtown

$55/2* Downtown

$50/1* Downtown

$55/2.5* Bellevue-Redmond

$55/2.5* University-Northgate

Not a nibble until I tried $40 for 2* in Univ-Northgate and got a $12 counteroffer. I added Downtown at $45...no. Added Lake Union at $46...yes. $46 was the low price then, to the dollar.

Extended Stay's regular price was $79.99. Hotwire had what I think is the same hotel for $56.

I'm surprised at how high hotel rates are in Downtown Seattle more than a month after tourist season is supposed to be over. And no special events going on that I know of. Even the 1* hotels I checked were over $100/night. Travelodge Space Needle was $109 and the Downtown Days Inn $119. Hotwire had a 2* in Pike Market zone for $79 and a 1* in Space Needle zone for $73. Contrast this to Downtown Portland, where you can usually win a 3* Downtown on Priceline for $55 or less.
