Is $110 your maximum bid for this stay?

Are any other nearby zones acceptable, such as Dupont Circle and/or Capital Hill?

I would like to keep it below approx $100 a night, and may expand to Capitol Hill Zone if necessary, but I was hoping to do no rental car and use the metro. Maybe you could recommend a date when I should expand my bidding to Capitol hill or dupont cir?

Thanks

When you decide to consider other zones has to do with your tolerance for risk...

I believe your best chance at the moment for a 4* hotel with a $110 budget is in the Dupont Circle zone and think you have a pretty good chance at succeeding at this point in time... if you decide to wait and continue to unsuccessfully try the other zones the current 4* Dupont Circle hotel may no longer be available; if you're successful purchasing a Dupont Circle hotel now for ~$100, a 4* hotel at this price could later become available within your budget in the White House zone.

I tried this again several times, the latest is adding Dupont Circle and Conv Center - Capitol Hill (both 4* zones)

starting at $85, 87, 89, 91, 94, 97, 101, 105 and 110 with my rebid zones listed above

all failed

It looks like rates have gone higher in the last 2 weeks (and the Dupont Circle zone property i had seen earlier is gone)... are you going to wait it out and try again at these levels or do you have another gameplan?
