Looking for a Paddy's day hotel for the Sounders match. Stuck to 4* Downtown - Pike Place, started at $55, re-bidding in $5-$6 increments using 3* max zones, got the Edgewater on the 5th try. Have stayed here before and am very happy with this price!

Started at $35, re-bid 4 times up to $48. Whole stay is less than one night at regular rates. Used the forum link to PRICELINE. Pretty happy with this deal.

HOTWIRE had a $59 deal up for a 3* (don't remember amenities except non-smoking). Figured it was worth a shot on PRICELINE, started at $49 and got the Hyatt Place, which was what I was hoping for. Nice place, big rooms, nice staff.

First bid $95 for Strip South. Immediate "you can increase your bid to $105 right now" offer. Not super excited to be off the strip, but it is a short walk away.

Started in Seattle and expanded to Lake Union, then Everett, then Bellevue. Just wanted under $100 and Bellevue was as far as I was going before dropping to 3*. Turns out I didn't even need to. Hyatt Regency Bellevue 4*.

Have a two-day seminar at an airport hotel so wanted to stay within walking distance. Searched only Seattle Airport zone, 3* - $38 was accepted on first try. Was actually hoping for this hotel, have stayed here many times when flying out of SeaTac and never had a bad experience. :)

Didn't get anywhere with several re-bidding attempts over the last week on Priceline going up to $165. Figured Inter-Continental The Barclay was pretty safe on Hotwire with all the positive reviews I've read. $199/nt Cust. favorite Restaurant, Fitness, Tennis, Business Center

Hyatt Regency Bellevue Got declined for Downtown Seattle 4* all the way up to $95 with 3 re-bids, so went over to Bellevue & dropped to $65. Got the Hyatt Regency on that first bid.

Yes! Trying to get out of a rut of doing the same things every trip. Some constant favorites are: Katz's Grimaldi's Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Bridge Central Park Battery Park The Met Shopping in the Village Slices from Ray's (Famous Original Ray's, that is)

Bid 3* MTW, MTE, MTC, got the Sheraton Manhattan on the first bid. Have stayed at the Sheraton NY Hotel & Towers before, but never at the Sheraton Manhattan. I've found that other NYC 3* properties through PL/HW are usually pretty comfortable (if occasionally a bit older or not in perfect shape), and this is in a great location and it has their fantastic beds, so for $90/nt this will be a great trip!

Not sure if it will work the same for you, but I just got the Sheraton Manhattan on Priceline March 8-13 2006 for $90/nt. bidding first shot for a 3*. -olyrc

Follow-up left. Didn't end up using PL or HW.

Friend ended up getting a room at the Barbary Coast for something like $59/nt. Not a fantastic hotel, but not horrid, and the location was great.

Looking for something decent, 4* preferred, 3* if decent, prefer to stay south strip or low north strip (nothing north of Wynn). I'd like to stay under $100/nt. Thanks much, olyrc
