mwandmw Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 1st Post so please be gentle if I mess it up. Long time lurker but finally jumping into the pond. I wanted a downtown hotel for 2 adults and 1 child in D.C. I reviewed the previous posts and decided to go after the Hotel Palomar. It was obvious that week nights are a premium in D.C. I bid $90 on a 4* in Dupont Circle area and it was accepted for the Hotel Palomar. I then took the advice of a previous post and called the hotel directly to request a queen/queen room. The front desk employee said it would be $40 per night additional. After some conversation, he agreed to an additional $25 per night. I believe this to be a very good deal and am excited about my trip. Thanks to this forum for the assistance. Link to comment
verga Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I am so happy for you as I am so happy too (still happy) after winning on priceline the Hotel Palomar at $109 for our Sept weekend stay. Please remember to register for Kimpton Intouch program to get your free wifi internet.I called the hotel last night asking them to link my Kimpton Intouch membership number to my reservation, asked for a free upgrade and received it too (grinning from ear to ear)! We can't wait to stay in this hotel. The hotel has class, I must say! Link to comment

mwandmw Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm going to close this post with a quick trip report!! The hotel Palomar was fabulous, graciously welcomed us and gave us a room with 2 beds as I had requested. They also allowed me to register as a Kimpton customer and receive the free wireless internet and $10 free from the mini bar. This forum helped our family to have a great vacation at a very good price. Thanks!!! Link to comment
