LSR Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I did do that, and I belive the best areas are Dupont Circle - Woodley Park, Georgetown - Foggy Bottom and White House - Downtown since they're the closest to the university area.I'd like to spend 150,00 but i dont know how much is paid in taxes, so i cant say what is my maximum bid amount, can you help me with that?

AaronJB Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 $150 including taxes would be a max bid of around $122-125.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Your budget may be enough, but it may also fall just short, however, prices for a 4* hotel are only slightly more than those for a 3*... did you want to try for the highest rated hotel up to your limit, then if rejected lower your star rating and try up to your limit again, and so-on OR is your goal the lease expensive 3* or better for these nites? Also, is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
