Priceline Hotel: 4* DC (White House - Downtown) JW Marriott

[urbantracker]

I will be taking my great nephew to Space Camp in July and after we return we decided to do a short, one day tour of the National Zoo, some of the Smithsonian museums, and the Spy Museum. My target was 2 rooms (my sister is meeting us there) at a 4* in the Woodley Park zone. I did an openning bid of $95 in just that zone. Struck out on that. I elected to expand my zones and did a 4* search in Woodley Park and Downtown (third option would have been to add the Convention Center zone) while bumping up my bid to $101.00. I hit on the Marriott on Pennsylvania Avenue, two blocks from the White House and one block from a Metro station. Played around with a price check on Expedia for comparison and the cheapest room for the Marriott on that Sunday night was $309.00 per room.

Thank you for posting and sharing your win with the board.

There were probably more strategic ways to go about bidding this, feel free to ask for help before your next priceline purchase... at least compare it to what you are otherwise considering to bid.

Can you also please add the actual dates of your stay. Thanks.

Have fun with your sister and nephew... i'm sure you'll all have fun in DC!
