I went on Hotwire this morning, and they had the 4* National Harbor (DC) listed for $118 (I knew it was probably the Westin). I quickly entered in my info and success!!! After feeling like I wouldn't be able to get a room at all in that zone for under $200, I got it closer to $100 end - I'm doing a dance at my desk right now. Especially considering rates for my dates at the Westin are running $301/night and many of the other hotels there are already booked or over $350/night. Thanks soooo much for your help. I'm so glad I found your website! :D

I bid $90 for the 3 star and $100 for the 3 1/2 star. I have not bid on 4 star yet, but maybe I should. Rack rate Prices for Westin has jumped to $301! Do you have any suggestions on what amount I should bid for 3 star plus in this area?

Thanks for the help about the waiting period. I'm looking to travel to National Harbor, MD March 29 to April 1, 2015. Yesterday, Hotwire had a rate of $120....wish I had moved on it, because now that option/price is no longer listed! After reading your description of amenities, I really think it was the Westin. Now all I have left is to bid on Priceline. Looking for a 3* and up in National Harbor - I have to stick with the National Harbor zone. Yesterday I bid $85 - $100, and was rejected each time. What advice do you have at this point for a first time bidder? Does Hotwire ever "relist" hotels they offered? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, My $95 bid for National Harbor was just rejected, and I need to stay in the same zone (National Harbor). I've read two different things on rebidding wait period on your forum - one post says the wait is 24 hrs, but another post says 72 hrs. And Priceline doesn't indicate either one..all it says was I needed to change my criteria to rebid. Is is 24 hours or 72 hours? Your help is greatly appreciated!!
