Priceline Hotel: 3.5* DC (Dupont Circle - Woodley Park) Washington Marriott Wardman Park

[rpertusio]

I was originally looking for one near Reagan airport (Zone 8), so I started there.

Zone 8 (Crystal City, VA): $62 [rejected]

 

I then did all my free re-bid zones (none had 3.5* or higher)

Added Zone 2: $62 [rejected]

Added Zone 6: $64 [rejected]

Added Zone 7: $66 [rejected]

Added Zone 9:  $68 [rejected]

Added Zone 15: $70 [rejected]

 

Then, I started geographically spreading out (since most areas are connected by Public transportation to Reagan airport):

Added Zone 5: $72 [rejected]

Added Zone 6: $74 [rejected]

Added Zone 10: $76 [rejected]

Added Zone 11: $78 [rejected]

Added Zone 13: $80 [rejected]

Added Zone 12: $82 [accepted]

 

 

I probably could have been a bit more methodical and included all zones and started lower, but I was aiming for anything lower than Hot.wire's lowest ($91) in those zones.

 

Winning bid: $82

Taxes & Fees: $19.98

Total Charges: $101.98

 

And yes, I used BetterBidding's PRICELINE link to purchase :)  Thanks all!
