Hotwire Hotel: Help with Trip to Washington

[Banjo]

I'm planning a trip to Washington to see my Lyme disease Doctor that moved form NC to DC and really need some help on planning this trip. I've used Hotwire three times and wa very Happy with 2 of the three Hotels. I've never bid on a Hotel. There are three adults and we are going to take the train from Cary NC to Union Station. My Doctor Office is located at .3 of a mile form One Washington circle Hotel. We are only staying 3 nights and they have nothing available. I've only been to Washington once many years ago. I would like to stay somewhere that we can tour the city and get to my appointment easily and to the hotel form Union Station. My sister is going with me and she has never been to Washington so I wanted this trip to be special for her. Any help and advise on how to start would be great. Thanks.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. We will be arriving on the train at Union Station on Aug 26th and leaving on Sunday Aug 29th. I would like to have a 3 star rating and we would like a swimming pool. I would like to stay in a price range of 75 - 100 per night. Thanks for the web site.

If you go to HOTWIRE and enter your doctor's address and search for 3adults... does anything appear within your budget, desired star rating, and with a pool icon?

None of these appear to be within your budget... are you willing to spend $185, $229 or $379/nite?? Also, these zones are somewhat spread out from each other... are all of these zones convenient for your plans?

Banjo, one thing to consider is transportation. I take it that you weren't renting or bringing a car.

Coming into Union Station by train, you have access to the metro (subway) right there. If you are willing and able to use the metro, it opens up more options for where you can stay. Some people prefer to avoid the metro, in which case it can be a bit more limiting (or, with taxi, more expensive).

Good luck.

We won't have a car so we'll need transportation from Union Station to the Hotel and to the Dr.'s office. . I saw a 4 star Arlington hotel with a pool for 165 that is within 1-5 miles of my Dr.'s office which is located at 2440 main Street NW. Do you have an idea of which Hotel this might be/

Thanks for your reply.

There are a variety of hiking trails leading to mountain peaks, ocean beaches, rain forests and waterfalls. We own the Five SeaSuns B&B here in Port Angeles and our guests that only allow a day, always regret it. Two days won't allow enough time to see it all, but will convince that you'll need to return for more.
