Thanks, just before it was time to rebid, my traveling companion broke her hip, so will put this on hold for now. Your instructions are very clear and I have a much better picture of what to do when I know what's up. Thanks.

We are set now with the where, when and *'s. Want Crystal City or White House/downtown zones, 3 or 4 star. Dates are not changeable as we have flights already. Would prefer to stay under $70 per night.

Will try to recreate, but not sure I remember all. Started with Crystal City, 3* at $48. No luck, added Springfield and uped to $51. Wasn't sure what else to do, so waited 72 hours. Second try, went for 4*, decided White House area would be ok, so did that first, no luck. Added $ and Crystal City. Nothing. Added $ and 3* as last try at $60. Stopped there. Any other suggestions for when I try again in another 72 hours? Hope this is now in the right location on this board

Have attempted a couple of different bids, but no takers so far. Would appreciate any suggestions for the best order to do things next time I try. We are going to D.C. and need rooms for 5/1-5/4/05. Would like to stay in Crystal City or White House area, prefer 3 or 4*. What is the best way to request for the best possible result. Would like to stay below $70 if possible. Thanks for any help!
