lukegyle Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 hello, first time post on this forum. i am going to be in DC from 8/1/10-8/20/10. i will be commuting daily to silver spring. i have never been to dc, but i was thinking it would be more fun to stay closer to the city, and take the metro to silver spring (vs staying in silver spring).so, i was thinking about the dupont circle "zone"my goal is a 4* hotel, at the best possible rate. thank you for your help!
thereuare Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please read your messages and click this PRICELINE link... then reply to this thread with your maximum bid for a 4* hotel in the Dupont Circle zone and we'll advise accordingly. Also, is the Dupont Circle zone the only one you're willing to consider? Would the White House and/or Convention Center zones work well for your plans too?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lukegyle Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 thank you. clicked the link. max price is $100/night. white house region would work as well.

lukegyle Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Posted June 28, 2010 update:i used the above bidding strategy, using the provided PRICELINE links. unfortunately, i have yet to have a bid accepted yet. i may consider bidding for a 3.5* hotel in the same zones.thanks for the help!
thereuare Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Sorry to hear your bids haven't been successful so far.Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option? If you're not willing to change hotels during your stay, or prefer to stick with the 4* level, note that HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel for the entire length of your stay for $116/nite (Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business... best guess is the Dupont Hotel)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.
