Priceline Hotel: 3* DC (Alexandria East - Old Town) Residence Inn Alexandria At Carlyle

[WzDancer]

Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

2345 Mill Rd, Alexandria, VA 22314

 

I spotted on PRICELINE EXPRESS a 3* hotel in this zone for $66 with free internet and breakfast.  I was sure that this could be Residence Inn, for this  is the only 3* with breakfast in the list view.  I started bidding at $56 and progressively raise by $2 until accepted at $60.  The lowest un-refundable rate on the hotel web site is $109.

 

I started bidding using the PRICELINE link.

Congratulations on your success!

Well done! Looks like a nice deal and hopefully this will work well for your needs this trip... the included brekafast is always a welcomed amenity.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

As a Priceline customer and a BetterBidding member, I always want to post the total cost information, including the Priceline Fee.

Coached by Thereuare, I just learned a new trick today. By turning off the light switch icon (on the upper left corner of the posting window), I am now able to directly copy and paste the total cost information from Priceline.

Offer Price:US$ 60.00

Room Subtotal: US$ 120.00

Taxes & Fees: US$ 26.10

Total Charged to Card: US$ 146.10

Based on my two Priceline purchases in Virginia this week, the Tax Rate is 18%, and the Priceline Fee is $4.55.

Thank you for the follow-up and glad you are pleased with the wins (although certainly a high tax rate in the area!  )

 

Free breakfast and larger rooms are certainly a plus at the RI properties.

 

Enjoy your stay.
