I wanted to thank the siteops and let everyone know that I just booked a room at the Omni Shoreham in DC for 2 nights at $70 each night. After fees the total came to $167.87. Using the previous post as a guideline I searched for 4 star hotels in Dupont/Woodley Park starting at $65 a night. After that bid was rejected I added Springfield to my search query and upped my bid to $70. This bid was accepted. I fell upon this site by google searching for hotwire cheat sheets, and after not really finding anything that great on hotwire I decided to read the priceline forums and give it a shot. Needless to say I am very happy with the outcome. Thanks ops!
