Priceline Hotel: 3* DC (White House-Downtown) Hotel Lombardy

[Evess]

Hi,

I would need some help in bidding for a hotel in DC in April for 3 nights. Preferably near to the Metro, not that quiet in the evening and in downtown and convention center zone.

In this case, which star level should I start with? Any bidding strategy? I have stayed in Red Roof Inn previously in September 2009 and it was alright for a 2* hotel but the bed was not very comfortable.

If you would like to get help with a bidding strategy so please post your budget/night before tax/fee and the star rating for the hotel.

Maximum budget will be USD100 before tax. 3* and above. Not sure if it's unrealistic for this period though? Thanks!

Unfortunately rates are very high for these dates and at the moment i'm doubtful that $100 will be enough for a 3* or higher hotel... what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?

I guess it would be around USD300 or so if through conventional booking. So in this case I think my budget should be USD150 or more?

My successful bid (finally) at $180 after many days of trying for Whitehouse and Capitol Hill areas. Noted that Priceline counter offered me $200, $205 and $210 on three separate biddings.

The hotel is Hotel Lombardy. Any review on this hotel?
