Finally, here is what I got...
June 17 - June 19
Sheraton National, from Hotwire - Arlington
$61
June 19 - June 20
Marriott Crystal City from Priceline - Crystal City
$70
Hi, it seems like I cannot get these hotels even for $140, but I do see a lot of posts here get them around $100, when do you think is the best time to bid, one week before arrving? My date is Jun 20 - Jun 23. Thanks!
Sorry, forget to tell you that I am searching with 3 people. Found sometimes it gets better deal this way. The hotel is $80 and recommended in 95 % of Hotwire customer reviews. Thanks!
I am thinking I will choose Hotwire instead of Priceline, and could you please move this thread there? Thank you!
Below is another hotel I found in Hotwire, but couldn't identify.
3* Hotel in Crystal City - Reagan National Airport DCA area hotel

Doesn't match any of the existing hotels... Any guess on this? Thank you! The complimentary breakfast makes me think it could by Courtyard/Holiday Inn or sth.
Thanks for replying. I ended up using lastminutetravel.com to book the 4* westin waterfront hotel at $126, which I think is a better deal than hotwire/priceline. The good thing about lastminutetravel is that you can specify two beds, and you can know the hotel name by playing the trick described here.

I will. Thanks for the advice, I really appreicate that.
I have bid $65 for Arlington and Crystal City, $80 for dupont.
Usually when is the best time to bid? Say two weeks before the visit, or even later? Thank you!
I am looking for a 3* or 3.5* hotel in Crystal City, Arlington or Dupont Circle-Woodley Park from Jun 17 to Jun 20, but I can't get the price posted here, like $50+ for Hyatt Crystal City, or $80 for Hilton Washington...
Also I found a lot of threads here are actually posted just one or two days before the visit. Am I bidding too early since it's still more than one month away... Or there's other problems I failed to notice. Thank you!
