racepoint Posted January 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Mid-July '08. Is it too early to shop? I want a nice (3+ star) place to stay (downtown) and don't want to wait too long or pay too much. I have looked on biddingfortravel.com. without getting the answers to my questions. Any help would be appeciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlt46 Posted January 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2008 We sure did Priceline in Seattle and saved a lot of money. You are correct to look at Bidding for Travel as you can see what the going rate is and where your free re-bids are. This may be a little early for July, but that is surely the way I went. I would spend a few extra days in Seattle if you could. There is a lot to do there. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleCruiselover Posted January 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Do it now. Rooms go fast here in summer tourist season. A lot of hotels don't have a whole lot of availability already, and the cruise lines book large blocks in several of the large downtown hotels for their pre and post packages, as well.

weltek Posted January 14, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Took a vacation to Seattle in July last year. On a weekend, we got the downtown Sheraton in Seattle for $125/night. It's usual list on the web was over $200. I think it was in April we booked. So no real tip, but that was my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakiron Posted January 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Used priceline last week and bid for 4* downtown hotel in July. The bid was successful and received Hotel Vintage Park for $75 per night. For 2 nights it was $150 plus $30.70 taxes and fees for a grand total of $180.70. Also bid the same price for 3 nights in August postcruise and received the same hotel. Ken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
