A guestroom designed for an extended stay and/or that is more spacious than the average hotel room. Suites typically offer residential-style furnishings, as well as separate living and sleeping areas; some also offer kitchenettes.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.

I'm not currently seeing this property offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing the above on your own search? If so, are you searching HOTWIRE for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children? What is the room rate?

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

Odd, now it's only showing POOL as an amenity and 'may be seasonal. The room rate is $146 for the mentioned dates and the defaults are as you mentioned. It says that its recommended in 85% of Hotwire customer reviews. Does this help?

Thanks for your help!!

That is what i saw earlier today when i searched for your dates, just a solo Pool amenity.

Try this:

Change your search to 2adults/2children and a 'new' 3* hotel is offered in this zone for the same $146/nite with:

Pool

Restaurant

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

I believe this may be the same property as the one just showing the solo Pool amenity, but unfortunately this property has not yet been reported to the board. However, if you were to purchase this hotel i'd sooner buy with the full list of amenities so that if they are different, at least you're assured of a Restaurant on-site and a more 'substantial' hotel (in terms of the offerings)

EDIT TO ADD: i also just looked at PRICELINE EXPRESS and although their zones and boundaries are slightly different, if your plans are flexible something there may work for your... in their Tysons Corner-Falls Church zone they have a 3.5* for $129/nite and a 3* for $79/nite... any interest in either of these? (you'll need to double check the PRICELINE EXPRESS zone for this area to make sure it gets you close enough to where you want to be)... a separate search for Arlington, VA shows a 3.5* for $116/nite which you may want to look into further as well.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

3.5* in Arlington, VA

I'm checking the PRICELINE link from this site and getting a 3.5 Star for $116/night in Arlington with the following amenities for 3/16 - 3/20:

- Indoor or Outdoor Pool

- Restaurant

- Business Center

- Fitness Center

Guest score is rated 7/10 (or higher) - any ideas on which place this is?

Thanks!!!

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

There could be others, but my guess for the PRICELINE EXPRESS property above would be the Sheraton National Hotel.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

How about .... 3* Arlington 3/16-3/20 at $146/night w/ the below amenities on PRICELINE:

-Free Internet

-Indoor or Outdoor Pool

-Free Parking

-Restaurant

-Business Center

-Fitness Center

Rated 7/10 or higher, Any ideas on this one? Sorry for the multiple inquiries, trying to find something more North close R66/Metro line.

The Holiday Inn Rosslyn at Key Bridge or the Holiday Inn Arlington at Ballston would be my best guess for this one.

If you're looking for something near a specific location you may want to check out our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com to see if anything reasonably priced is offered thru conventional booking channels.

It was the Holiday Inn at Ballston - booked on the HOTWIRE link here!! Thanks for the advice!

[thereuare]

Can you confirm if you used PRICELINE or HOTWIRE for this purchase?

If HOTWIRE, can you please add a reply to this thread with the star rating, room rate per nite, and amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page. (if PRICELINE i'll assume it was the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer above)

Once you reply we'll edit the topic title accordingly to reflect your win and this purchase will appear in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins (or Priceline Maps if you used PRICELINE)

THANKS!
