Had tried various prices and combos of dates (friday to friday, sat to sat, sun to sun) for the neighborhoods we wanted (Crystal City, Alexandria, Arlington) on Priceline, ranging from $50-$65 but wasn't able to land anything. Since Hotwire had this offer of $69 sitting there for a hotel I was able to ID through the Hotwire hotel listings on this site, I decided to go with that rather than push up the price further on Priceline. Very happy with this price, Travelocity, Hotels.com etc are listing this place from $200-$220 a night for these dates! Amenities listed as: Smoke Free Rooms, Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access, and once I clicked continue on this offer, it also listed Tennis Nearby. I used the HOTWIRE link in the "Support Better Bidding" section of the forum to make my purchase.

First bid $45 on 3* Burlington-Stowe (Burlington-Williston) - Rejected Added Burlington - Stowe (Waterbury - Stowe), Rebid $50 - Rejected (The only hotel in this zone is very very expensive) Added Burlington - Stowe (Essex Junction), Rebid $55 - Accepted (Same deal, only hotel in zone was way over my asking price) This was actually the exact hotel I wanted! It was being offered on Hotwire (based on the amenities listed) for $69 for this night, so I was able to save myself a few $$.

Booked 2 rooms to attend my Brother's graduation at BU... Price is high, but over $100 less than anywhere else, this being a big weekend for Graduations in Boston resulting in some scary high prices. Listed Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business This matched the property listed as "Hotel @ MIT", but it appears they have changed names to "Le Meridien Cambridge", as browsing to the website for "Hotel @ MIT" listed on google (http://www.hotelatmit.com/) now redirects to the Le Meridien page. Thanks for a great website!
