thereuare Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 What is your goal/budget for this stay? Are you looking to stay within the city limits or commute in from a nearby suburb?Have you consulted with the Hotwire Hotel List for any matches?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

mommyofcam Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Our budget is $100 per night and the other must is that it has a pool and is close to Metro. We will have a rental car that we'll either return in DC when weyour arrive, or park at the hotel and just return it at the airport when we leave. Prefer not to drive unless a must.Best guesses using your guide;#1 - Westin Alexandria#2 - Hilton Mark Center (the only difference is Hotwire lists golf nearby and your list does not)#3 - Hyatt Regency Bethesda#4 - Holiday Inn Historic District#5 - Sheraton Herndon Dulles Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The 4* Alexandria-Old Town property matches the Westin Alexandria so that would be my best guess for this one.Best guess for the 3.5* Dupont Circle property is the Embassy Row Hotel (this was previously the Hilton Embassy Row hotel, not yet reported to the board under the new name/ownership).The other properties don't seem like viable options as they are substantially over your budget, correct?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

mommyofcam Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Actually, the later 3 on my list are within budget because the Hotwire price is at or below that $100 mark. It was just noting that they listed higher on other sites. Any guesses on those, or are my guesses close?Also, any opinion if your familar with the area on which would be a better selection for us?Thanks again! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 On a closer look i see the format you used...Yes, i'd agree with your guesses for the last 3 properties.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Doubleplay Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I live in DC area. If you don't want to drive, #5 is not an option for you. All the others are.#1 - Westin Alexandria --> Walking distance to Metro#2 - Hilton Mark Center --> Has free shuttle to Metro#3 - Hyatt Regency Bethesda --> On top of the Metro#4 - Holiday Inn Historic District --> Has shuttle to Metro#5 - Sheraton Herndon Dulles --> No Metro Link to comment
mommyofcam Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I need some help ID'ing options for our upcoming stay in August 22-25 for 2 adults and 2 kids; I tried to compare to wins and your list but was too far off the mark to really try to pin it down. Our musts are a pool and near metro, everything else is a bonus. I wanted to stay within a $130 budget per night.White House - Downtown, 3 Star, $101Indoor PoolSmoke Free RoomsPool(s)Laundry FacilityAccess for the DeafFree InternetIn Room AccessibilityAccessible BathroomHandicap ParkingRoll in Shower90% Hotwire$Dupont-Zoo Area, 3 Star, $107FitnessPoolRestaurantBusiness CenterLaundryAccessible for the BlindAccessible for the DeafAccessible Path of TravelHandicap ParkingRoll in Shower85% Hotwire ReviewAlexandria - Old Town, 4 Star, $96Indoor PoolSmoke FreeFitness CenterPoolsRestaurantBusiness CenterLaundryHigh Speed InternetAccessible for the BlindAccessible for the DeafAccessible PathIn Room AccessibilityWheel Chair AccessAccessible BathroomRoll in Shower90% Hotwire Thanks in advance for any help!
