I updated the other thread and I had not used PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.

I used my corporate rate for Holiday Inn Express as nothing had worked out for PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.

I can already book 3* hotel in 100 USD+tax through another site , knowing the hotel name as well. So it it is going to be around that price, probably I wouldn't spend more time on priceline.

thanks for your help.

Buffalo - Amherst

Buffalo Downtown

Hi,

I am looking to book a 3* & up hotel in Buffalo. Has anybody recently tried any bids and won and can give me a ballpark figure to work with ? Any other pointers will be helpful.

Is it reasonable to expect that I can get a hotel for ~$70 USD ? Should I got a lower star hotel for that amount ?

Thanks

Hi,

I was trying to book a hotel for a night and after trying priceline and hotwire options, finally got the hotel "Astor on the park" (Central Park West) . Reviews are ok but location is great and as it is only for night, I think it is ok.

Thanks

Finally !!!!I have secured a deal on the priceline at the Dupont Circle Hotel 4* for $90 for 4 nights (7/12-716) after so many days.

In this cycle this is the bid I followed:

$80 for Dupont circle: Rejected and got offered to go to $100 and rebid again

I declined and added Capitol hill and bid for $85: Rejected and asked to rebid with $100

I declined and added white house area and bid for $90: Bid accepted for The dupont hotel :))

(Before this I had tried different dates for these zones, and Foggy bottom but couldn't get through till $100)

Thanks all for your help :) I used the PRICELINE link from this forum

Finally !!!!

I have secured a deal on the PRICELINE at the Dupont Circle Hotel 4* for $90 for 4 nights (7/12-716) after so many days.

Thanks all for your help :) and I had used the PRICELINE link from this forum (I will post a new topic to explain a bit more about my bids)

Preference is to get the least expensive hotel, 2-1/2* onwards in any of the 4 areas:

- Convention Center-Capitol Hill and White House-Downtown

- George town-Foggy Bottom

- Dupoint circle

ok, thanks.

Here are my preferences:

- Downtown DC/Capitol hill area: Any 2*+ hotel

- George town - foggy bottom : any 2*+ hotel

- Any other area which has good access to downtown/national mall (through Metro, not looking beyonf 30 mins ride to downtowm)

Budget maximum $90-100. I am flexible on dates as I can stay for 4 nights with any start date from Jul 8 - Jul 11 (with checkout between July 12 - July 15 for those respective checkin dates)

Thanks

Hi,

Including Arlington because I read on different posts that it is good area and downtown is accessible. For that period(Thu-Mon), I am getting 4* hotel at $103 without even bidding. So was thinking that I may be able to get that or some other hotel (even 2* would be fine) in the downtown area for $60-80. Splitting is bit difficult as that would involve moving from 1 hotel to another which I don't want to do...

Thanks

I am thinking about bidding for Downtown, capitol hill and Arlington areas. As I have moved my dates to more favourable time(cost wise), I expect that I should be able to get something from 21/2*-4* somewhere around $60-80...right ?

Thanks,

Thanks Guys..all your comments are really helpful. After reading some other posts and doing some research, I noticed that prices are much higher if I stay Mon-Fri as compare to if I stay Thu-Mon..so have decided to move my dates to 07/12-07/16 and now checking the price for that duration I am getting a 4* hotel for $99 in downtown and a couple of others withing $110 per night:)...So thinking about bidding for that, starting with $65 and going up till I get the room ...Is that the right way ?

Hi,

I saw one 2* hotel @89/night in downtown and other 2* Arlington hotels ~120-130. 3*+ hotels are probably $150+.

I am looking at max $100 per night for 1 room for 2 people.

Is there any other area that I should consider, like Crystal city or Bathesda or any other area which is accessible through metro (not more that 30 mins to atleast a few attractions) and is safe ?

How is Dupoint - Woodley park area ? Is it accessible through metro and not far off from downtown ?

Thanks.

Ok, Done :)

I am/would be using the links from this forum..

Thanks.

Hi,

I am very new to this form and the first time bidder on priceline. After going through various topics on this site (which are really good), I started the bidding process and using some of the strategies described here, like:

- I started with 1 zone(Arlington) and with 3*+hotels with $50

- and then expanded the search to capitol hill area and the downtown and increasing the price to 65.

- Lowered the expected hotel star rating to 21/2 *

Still not able to get anything. I would be visiting Washington for the first time and would like to stay close to a metro station to get easy access to different museums/attractions

Is my bid too low ? and what should I bid at or any other strategy I should opt ?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks,
