Monky Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I wanted to see if anyone new if the Mariott Lake Union is still coming up on PRICELINE. The reason I am asking is I want to book the Residence Inn Lake Union for the full kitchen facilities for the kids. I searched and the Mariott Lake Union doesn't seem to come up in any winning bids. I checked pricing and the Residence Inn Lake Union is $179 less $50 for some shopping voucher. The Mariott is coming up at $109. If it is on PRICELINE, I am worried the Mariott will come up.Dates are check in May 22nd for two nights. Thanks Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 You can't bid at a specific hotel at PRICELINE. If you're trying to target a specific property then HOTWIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.Yellowdog.

tilepusher Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm assuming that you're referring to the Courtyard. That hotel hasn't been reported in years, but it's always possible; thanks to the recession, a number of hotels are appearing on PRICELINE that haven't come up in a long time. The Silver Cloud hotels, for example, are coming up after a long absence. The Silver Cloud Lake Union was very recently upgraded to 3*, so it's now a possibility if you were to bid for a 3* hotel in the Lake Union zone. Link to comment
Monky Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yellowdog, yup, I can't pick hotels with PL but at the same time, I wanted to see if anyone knew if the Mariott Courtyard Lake Union was coming up. It would seem there are 2 3-stars except for the Silvercloud that is added now. I want to see my odds of getting the Residence Inn.Tilepusher, where did you see the Silvercloud upgraded? I hope not as that adds 3 possible 3 stars.Thanks Link to comment

smcavana Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 We got the Marriott (Courtyard) in February, after about a year of being able to get the Residence Inn without a problem. Not a good surprise. No breakfast, no refrigerator or microwave, expensive parking. We've haven't submitted a Lake Union priceline bid since then...not wanting to go back to the Marriott. Silver Cloud has a pretty good web deal, 139 for a view room, with a small refer and microwave, an ok little breakfast and free parking. We do miss the Residence Inn though. Link to comment
