purplelotus Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Used the PRICELINE link.Bid in three areas, Dupont Circle, Convention Center, and White House. Started bidding at $66. Bid separately first and then used free rebid zones. When I bid $72, I got a counter to increase my bid from $20-$87. I tried a $2 increase to $74 and did not win so then I increased another $2 ($4 total) to $76 and won the Hilton. My actual cost was only $71 since I had a $5 Priceline email bonus offer. Total cost for stay is $584.57. Saw an advance purchase rate for this hotel of $99 on Hilton's website last week. Checked again after my win, and it was $114. Never stayed at this hotel but looks fine. Haven't read reviews yet. Not super close to the metro stop, but the bus goes right by it. Thought I might get something cheaper since this is when the conventions are on, but I'm satisfied with the price. Not one of my better deals however. Link to comment
