Priceline Hotel: 4* DC (Dupont Circle-Woodley Park) Hotel Palomar

[CrazyOne]

Bidding for a colleague going to DC. I figured I'd try what I usually do, bid 4* in Dupont-Woodley. Worked great! Other things we were considering were all well over $200. I've stayed at the Palomar before, great place and location.

I didn't know how high it was going to be, so I upped my bid in $15 chunks which it turned out was too large. So I dunno how cheap you could get this, but perhaps cheaper than $130 because my next lower rejected bid was $115. I had visions of needing to pay north of $150 and didn't want to run out of rebids. So still very happy with the rate even though it might have been possible to get it for several $ less.

Also of note, it offered to allow an extension of stay at the same rate, so could be available other nights next week for any other last-minute bidders.

I used the PRICELINE link and thanks as always for maintaining this resource.

BTW, should have mentioned my start bid was $100, given that there are in fact a few hits lower than that recently even for 4*. So it's possible there would have been something else less. Or not. You never know. But just for full info on where I started and what finally hit. Sometimes I try to start with odder bids, like I could have gone $97, $112, $127, something like that, but I didn't think of it yesterday.
