jhMLB Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Amenities Free high speed internet connection Indoor pool Exercise gym On-site business center Restaurant Non-smoking rooms (generic) Parking Free airport shuttle I've been trying a couple of days by searching for 3.5 star hotels on Priceline and bids up to $57 per night failed. I checked the winning bids and I decided to downgrade to 2.5 star hotels on searches. I checked the acceptable areas and desires and started with $30 bids and raised in increments of $2 and $3. When my $48 bid failed, I noticed something very interesting - the next median average for the hotels showed up $88, and I bid $1 more at $49 and I got an accepted bid in Arlington - VERY close to the DC area and an area closer than I was expecting (I was prepared to settle for $56-66 range as far as Fairfax). I ended up getting a 3 star hotel according to Priceline (and 4 stars according to google) Yes! Link to comment

jhMLB Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 It is the crystal city area I just assumed wrong because of the Arlington in the hotel's name, thank you for checking up on me! Please edit my original post Link to comment
