Based on previous posts I'm thinking Dupont Circle Hotel?

A property with this exact amenity set has not yet been reported to the board, but the Dupont Hotel would be my best guess as well.

Thanks for the reply! Not sure if I want to risk it on a complete unknown. If I do I will report back what it is. Thanks!

I've been bidding for the Capitol Hill zone for a few days with no luck. I decided to drop back down to $170, 60% off average rate, adding in the White House zone not expecting to get it, but I did get The Mayflower Renaissance. I'm a little bummed now considering how much more we're paying versus the other win today. Wish I'd seen that before I bid in the White House zone. Oh well I hope this hotel is nice, the reviews seem a bit mixed.

Congrats on your success. :)

Sorry to hear that the result was more expensive than hoped, but a very nice discount versus the $499 showing on Expedia. Hopefully the hotel will exceed expectations.

Enjoy your stay.

It was actually less expensive than I thought it would be. I'd been stalking this board for weeks waiting for someone to bid in May. I checked in the afternoon, but didn't check again before I started bidding or I would have seen the other new May bid and adjusted my strategy. I never would have started that low in a 4* zone when I know how much the hotels are. So really I'm kicking myself for not checking again right before I bid. It's still a great deal and the hotel looks nice except for a few bad reviews so I don't think we'll be unhappy with the purchase.

Rather then wait for another user to take the lead, as there may or may not be another user looking to stay in this area around the same time frame, just ask for help and we can recommend a strategy for you to follow. As well, rates are date specific, so better to get advice specific to your own dates of travel then follow the lead of another user whose similar dates may or may not have similar rates.

Regardless, you won for less then you expected would be possible, which is always a good outcome. :)
