3 1/2 * Washington, Foggy Bottom / Dupont Circle area, Marriott, $70.00 per night for 8 nights Great old hotel, no complimentary breakfast but everything else I look for when choosing a hotel. I tried 5 times over 1 week I actually narrowed my search after carefully reading about neighborhoods etc. but also lowered my "star" rating...asked for, and received, 3 1/2 stars Honestly I am astonished...... at this point I was really just testing the waters, my stay is not until October. I did take the trip insurance, to cover illness etc. I have always found great big city hotels at wonderful prices with priceline.
