Welcome to BetterBidding!

You're right; this hotel doesn't appear to match any on the hotel list. However, the star level and amenities are a match for the Mayflower Park Hotel on Hotwire's Vacation Packages, so that would be my best guess.

If you decide to book this room, please use this HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.

I'm seeing in the calendar a number of bids won for $91 and $92, but some for $100 (different hotels)

Anyone know if there's a strategic advantage to bidding 'odd' numbers like 91, or is the "price line" more likely an even $90 or $100? I'm short on time and won't have a ton of bids to make so want to maximize the opportunity to get my deal.

Also, I'm having trouble figuring out which areas of the city are "safe" zones with no 4*hotels that I can add to increase my number of bids. (I know Lake Union/University have no 4*, but I don't know about any other areas. )

Thanks--

Also had failed downtown 3* bids for $55 and $60.

Best deal on their website for this room is $299 including taxes.

The only real thing you can say about the price choice is that the higher you bid, the more likely you are to win.

I think there's an FAQ about figuring our your rebid zones. The important thing is to check each zone separately and see what star level it goes up to.
