Priceline Hotel: Stop bidding or...?

[gruber]

Hello!

I'm looking for a hotel in Washington DC for 3 nights. (03/28/2011 - 03/31/2011), for 1 person.

Maximum: $300 total + tax.

I've been looking for a hotel the last two weeks on Hotwire, with no great deals and i'm also bidding the last two weeks on Priceline, every day, with no succes.

The areas are:

4* - 3*:

- The White House / Downtown

- Convention ctr / Capitol Hill

- Crystal City

- Dupont Circle

4* - 3,5*:

- Arlington

I've bidding with a lot of free-re-bids, with a max. on Priceline for $95 per night.

What do you think? Give up or do you think there is a chance to win a bid or have a great deal on Hotwire for the next 2 days? Because I can cancel my hostel-reservation 24h. before check-in.

Of course I used the last two weeks the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links on BETTERBIDDING.

Anything is possible... a hotel could receive a last minute cancellation from a large group of guests and suddenly find themselves with a big block of rooms to fill, but based upon supply/demand for these dates, i'm doubtful that you'll be successful at $100 or under.

Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

Thanks for continuing to try with the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Keep us updated and let us know wherever you ultimately end up.

Thereuare, thanks for your help!!!

Splitting my priceline bid is not an option for me.

I stop bidding now for my trip to Washington DC, because i'm leaving tomorrow.

I'm very happy with my deal for New York City from Hotwire.

Thank you for closing the thread. Sorry to hear that the bidding did not go as hoped.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

So what did you ultimately decide to do for this leg of your trip?

[gruber]

I had already booked a hostel in Washington DC. :)
