Hi Carol:) you might want to post this over on the FLorida Board:D as

this particular forum is for West Coast Departures;)

If you look at the top it has all WC cities....LA, San Diego, Seattle,

San Francisco, Vancouver.

We went through Priceline and got Springhill Suites on Yale Ave. for $79 per night excluding taxes. For our post night, tried a 3* and got Sheraton Seattle for $122 a night excluding taxes. Supposedly they upgraded us from a 3* to 4*. I don't think we did very well on this one because I've seen the Sheraton's rates as low as $189. Oh well!

[rc51]

1st time bidder on Priceline...first bid of $65 for Crowne Plaza, San Pedro for Feb 2008. Won it on first attempt.

 

Called hotel and confirmed a King/non-smoking room.

 

I'm pleased. It was painless.

I had been looking at the Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf in SF for our Alaska cruise next May. When I was first looking (last May) it was about $100 a night but now it's closer to $200 (!).

 

So, I thought I would try Priceline. Have been bidding on a 3* for a few days now, starting at $50 and going up $5 a day.

 

Today- success! The Tuscan Inn (3*) for $75 per night, with tax and fees $180.41. I am VERY happy!

For the 3 nights the total came to $267.70 including the $42.70 in taxes and service fees. At this rate I would have been happy to get a 2.5* hotel. Ken...

2.5 Stars Springhill Suites (Marriott) Downtown Seattle

 

Winning bid $69 for 5/2, 1 night pre-cruise

 

Price was $170 with a AAA discount so I am very pleased!

We really wanted a suite type hotel since there is four of us! Complimentary shuttle and full free breakfast!

[heatherb1958]

Just wanted one night pre-cruise near to airport. Bid for a 2 star and got upgraded to the 3star Delta Vancouver hotel for $73 + taxes.

This is for September

[Karshrimp]

Got Springhill Suites for our pre-cruise night on September 4th. Bid $69 and it was accepted! :D Since these suites go for $189 and up, we feel we got a very good deal.

Am very happy since we have friends that are staying at the same place pre-cruise. They have it listed as 2.5 stars, but it certainly looks better than that!

1st time priceline bidder--Got Springhill Suites today for $75 for July 11. Tried for post cruise stay but haven't been successful yet. Maybe tomorrow. Started with 4 star,3, then 2 1/2 and BINGO! Yea. Beats $189!:D

[KreinKrunker]

Won the Best Western Tuscan Inn on Fisherman's Wharf today thru Priceline. Needed three rooms for June 15, 2008, pre Dawn Princess cruise. First bid of $60 was rejected. Added a rebid zone, upped the bid to $65, and won at that price. The AAA rate was $215.10 for that night. This rate is about 70% off the AAA price. Incidentally, the Hotwire price for that night was $105.

[casavaha]

Leaving on the Oosterdam, Mar. 8, 2008. Got the W in San Diego for

$125, Mar. 7. The hotel is about 4 blocks from the pier. Close to

everything.

Just got Seattle Springhill Suites for post cruise 7/19-21 for $70/night. Took my first bid. Wish I'd tried lower. Oh well. Was trying for 4* but they didn't like my bids that I've been bidding for the last week.

Don't feel bad, I won it at $69 after starting at $65. Thats a great price for the summer season :)

[smitty3000]

What kind of bids did you submit for a four star that were not accepted?

[Teacherph]

Started at $80 and went up to $95 over a 4 day period. Saw some others that got 4* for that. Maybe it's the time of year.....:confused: . We'll survive. Sounds like $70 for downtown is pretty good.

[smitty3000]

Sounds great to me. I would have been happy. I may try a 4* first, and bid up to say $100, only because I am afraid on a 3* I won't get as good a hotel as you did. Glad you did well.:)
