Priceline Hotel: 3* DC (White House - Downtown) Donovan House

[rdhiman]

Hello,

I am new to the forum and am asking for help for an upcoming vacation.

I'm looking for a hotel in D.C. from Aug 14th to Aug 16th 2012, 3* hotel or better is desired and as close as possible to a Metro station. Ideally I would be bidding at most $90 per night.

Any help as to how to proceed would be appreciated!

Wow, that's one detailed strategy!

I was able to get the Donovan House for $92/night with the help of your strategy, the hotel looks great and the cheapest rate through the hotel website is $200/night!

Thanks for the help. I have two more cities to bid on for the remainder of my vacation, I'll put the details up in their appropriate place ASAP!!

BEAUTIFUL chic/boutique hotel but my gripes are key card needed for elevator and the tempting mini-bar and snack fridge they have in the rooms and those items are at a very high cost, not sure if you can get a fridge or microwave in your rooms but if you can i'm sure they are at an extra cost.
