Priceline Hotel: help needed. 3*-4* 6/15-6/19 $120

[duolajuzi]

Hello, everyone. I just started using PriceLine and I would really appreciate some advice on the bidding strategy.

I am planning a trip for my parents and me and we are hoping to stay in DC from 6/15 to 6/19. The budget is $120 per night. We don't have a car, so I am hoping to stay in a safe area where we can easily get access to public transportation.

Do you have any recommendations for the areas that I should bid or any kind of bidding strategy?

Thank you in advance!

I assume you're seeking one room for three of you? If so, do note that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request.

If this is not a risk you're willing to accept, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

Let us know your thoughts on the above and we'll then see what may be possible thru whichever service you determine is best to meet your needs this trip.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
