mike62 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Great board. I am so glad I found it just wish I had a couple of weeks ago. I am reading as fast as I can so please forgive me if this is in the wrong area or already covered.We will be arriving in Seattle on 7/4/09. There is one 4* right now at $107 which appears to be either the Westin or Sheraton. The description apprears to cater to both based on the threads.My two questions are:1. Today is Monday and we are arriving on Saturday. I see it has been much lower price wise should I wait until later in the week to see if it is going to go down or due to the holiday, season, etc. will it stay up. I see its been down in June though.2. It appears everywhere in Seattle has pricey parking at hotels on top of rooms. When you win a bid on Hotwire is it for the room only and you are still responsible for parking?Thank you. Link to comment
Colfax Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding, mike62.Hotwire rates can go up or down any time. There's no "best time" to purchase.HOTWIRE rates are for the room only. Parking and internet, if the hotel charges for those, are not included in the room rate. That's true however you book your hotel, not just on Hotwire. Link to comment
mike62 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I read many post on both HOTWIRE and Priceline and ended up giving it a shot on PRICELINE. I wanted a 4* in the Pike Place area for 7/5/09-7/7/09. The prices have been running around $107 today but saw where others have been paying less but with the holiday and late notice I had little doubt I would get my first offer accepted. I was figuring on the Westin, anyway, I bid $85.00 and thought we will see and it was accepted, however, it is the Edgewater. It says its Seattle's only waterfront hotel. It is a 4 star. Hoping for the best. Link to comment
vancouver2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 got the Edgewater using HOTWIRE last September. Similar price I think. Nice place but the room was a bit on the small side and the beds were a weird size. Somewhere between twin and double. Link to comment
