I am in DC now, and aside from the Red Sox being in town this week for interleague play, there is nothing obvious occurring in the district that would result in tonight (6/24) being such a tough get.

White House/Capitol Hill appears to be the Capitol Hilton Dupont Circle/Embassy Row should be the Hilton Washington (towers). I stayed at this Hilton on a HOTWIRE stay last summer and quite liked it, for whatever it may be worth.

An old stay, posting for record's sake. Do not recall my bid history, if any before the successful bid.
