ThinLine

I am NOT looking forward to staying at the Ramada, but at least it was the right price.

3.5* Northern Virginia (Fairfax) Hyatt Fair Lakes $60 for 8/3/11 - 8/4/11

Rejected at $70 (+$5 bonus cash). Accepted at $80 plus bonus cash. Lorien Hotel.

Thanks to everyone's input on this board. I've used your suggestions a few times and found the forum to be a great resource. Today I used the BetterBidding link at the top of the page. Anyway, I overbid (a bit) to ensure I landed at the Marriott University Place. The hotel has a free airport shuttle, and is walkable to my business meeting. Otherwise, I would have needed a rental car. The cheapest I found the Marriott otherwise was $149 per night. I'll take the $108 savings for the weekend!
