OK, so it's not downtown DC, but it's right at a Metro stop, and I was having NO luck at my prices in the downtown areas. Doesn't help that MSNBC just reported that DC is one of the busiest areas for vacationing this year.

After using all the rebid zones possible (starting at $65), we landed the Omni downtown. It looks like a nice property. A little more than we wanted to spend, but it's a busy week in Philly.

It doesn't mention which airport. We're looking to stay maybe 2 nights, sometime in November. My son wants to look at a couple of schools in the DC area, so we're not locked in as to days/dates. Thanks.

Looking for Des Moines to Washington DC, and most of the airlines and discount sites (Orbitz, etc.) are quoting around $475 just for one ticket. Priceline quoted (without very many details) as low as $248 per person for 2 tickets and hotel. I like priceline, but this sounds risky.

Has anyone ever used the priceline flight + hotel option? This is not a bidding feature, just one of their good deals. The only flight information that is given is something about a ''priceline partner airline", with flight times "anytime between 6 am and 11 pm". The prices are amazing; airfare and hotel for 2 people for less than 1 plane ticket thru the airline sites. Just wondering about priceline's ''partner airlines'. Any help would be appreciated.
