galileocan Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 This one was a tough one. Had been trying for a few days to secure a 4* hotel in downtown Washington D.C. for two nights on a weekend in April. I may have been impatient because this was not one of my better deals on Priceline and normally I find the best deals are within 1 week of arrival, although this still was a good deal. Had been shut out for the last few days bidding with re-bid zones in the neighbourhood of $65-$80. Now tried to up it slightly with the following results;Bid 1 - Convention Ctr - Capitol Hill area, 4* - $75 - REJECTEDBid 2 - Added White House-Downtown - $80 - REJECTEDBid 3 - Added Crystal City - $85 - REJECTEDBid 4 - Added Springfield - $88 - ACCEPTEDCapital Hilton has received some so-so reviews. Was hoping for the Renaissance. Nevertheless, a pretty good hotel and a good location.Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $88.00 Subtotal: $176.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $34.37 Total Charges*: $210.37 Best price on the hilton.com website was $177/nt plus tax, so basically 50% off. I'm used to winning bids in the 60-65% off range, so although this is definitely a good win, its not as good as normal. Link to comment
