Priceline Hotel: Bidding strategy 6/1-6/6 White House Washington DC

[Baciochoco]

First time traveling to DC with family. Want to bid a hotel closer to White House and other museums. Please advice. Is it possible around $130 for 3 1/2 star hotel? Thank you.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

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

You mention traveling with your family, do you intend to get one room and how many adults/children will there be?

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)

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

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