Priceline Hotel: 3* DC (Georgetown-Foggy Bottom) River Inn

[Nell]

My husband and 18 yr old daughter are visiting DC for the first time 3/19-26 and planning to do the usual tourist things (Capitol & White House visits already scheduled, museums, shopping, Mt Vernon, etc). We have bid twice on Priceline for a 3.5 star ($95 & 105) for a hotel in the White House - Downtown DC area with no win but have not yet expanded our area. The White House -Downtown DC seems to cover the most desirable area to be in for this visit. I don't see hotels won on the list with week long stays. Is getting a week long stay more difficult than one of just two or three days? If any one has any suggestions, would appreciate them. Thank you! :)

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Rates during these dates appear elevated when searching on HOTWIRE, with a 4* in the White House-Cap Hill zone at $155 and 4*'s higher in some of the other core zones of the city. While lengthier stays are sometimes problematic, I think unfortunately a higher bid will be required for these dates for a 4*. What would be your desired max budget per night?

Thanks Aaron for your input. Max desired budget per night including taxes is $150. Have been requesting 3.5*. Am thinking of expanding to the Georgetown-Foggy Bottom area & possibly going down to a 3* if necessary. I like the Dupont Circle area but don't want to be as far north as it extends.

I rebid last night at $111 with the second area indicated also but did not win. I would appreciate any further input you might have. Thanks.

What is more important to you, price or location? It appears that you have only bid up to $111 thus far, which even including taxes and fees, is below your $150 limit... do you want to bid higher for your preferred zone(s) or seek a lower price in alternate areas?
