alsk Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Bidding for 3* 10/18 - 10/20 Having already placed these rejected bids: Crystal City (CC): 60 CC + Convention Center/Capitol Hill (CCCH): 65 CC + Dupont/Woodley Park (DWP): 70CC + White House/Downtown (WHDT): 75CC + WHDT + CCCH: 80CC + CCCH + DWP: 85CC + DWP + WHDT: 90We tried again with an increased limit and won:Crystal City+ Springfield: 100Crystal City + Springfield + White House/Downtown: 110Crystal City + Springfield + Convention Center: 120Taxes/Fees: 42.80Total: 282.80 Read on for my pity party.....I guess I just want to make myself feel better for these higher than usual prices! :)This is the series of bids that we won with (finally) after bidding almost every possible option for a 2.5* - 4* in Arlington, Crystal City, DC downtown areas, Maryland suburbs and even BWI Airport!We bid as much as $160 for a downtown hotel, and up to $90 in the Maryland suburbs (before we decided that the hassle of transportation into town would probably outweigh any savings in those zones).I will say that I did extensive research for those dates and ONLY 2 known priceline hotels (2.5* - 4*) in ANY of the downtown DC zones had availability for both nights, 2 Arlington hotels, and 2 Crystal City hotels, with prices through the roof! The cheapest hotwire rooms for our dates were $190. Needless to say we upped our budget for this trip, but both of our hotels have great reviews, and are very convenient to everything we wanted! Thanks again for all your help. Link to comment
