Priceline Hotel: 3.5* DC (Crystal City) Hilton Crystal City at Ronald Reagan National Airport

[Canada2012]

Although it is early, but seems rates are pretty reasonable for the July 4th time.

What would this 4* be in Woodley Park-Dupont Circle area?

 

Amenities: Indoor/Outdoor Pool, Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center

 

Priceline Express has it at $117 Canadian Dollars a night. I had bid 4* and then 3.5* in the Woodley Park area up to $103 and no luck.

Help ID 4* Reston-Sterling Dulles July 2-6

Wondering on Hotwire what this 4* would be. Would it possibly be Westin Reston Heights? Rate is $78 US using BiddingHelper.com tool. Not sure if it is the same one listed $94 Canadian Dollars

 

Amenities are: Free Parking, Indoor Pool, Airport Shuttle, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet Access, Accessible for Visually Impaired, Accessible For Hearing Impaired, Accessible Path of Travel, In-Room Accessibility, Accessible Bathroom, Accessible Parking, Roll In Shower

For the PRICELINE EXPRESS property, the amenities are fairly common for a 4* hotel in this zone but my guess would be the Omni Shoreham or the Palomar (difficult to have too much confidence in any guess given how common the amenities are)

For the HOTWIRE offer, i would agree with your guess of the Westin Reston Heights.

I was planning to do our Canada Day July 1st in our nation's capital Ottawa and do four days in DC for July 4th. I figured hotel rates will rise as the year goes on and why not get a good rate now.

I decided since I will fly into Reagan and a couple of friends live closer to Crystal City area I would try for a hotel there.

Hotels..com and Expe.dia have the Hilton Crystal City for $94 and so I figured I would try for less than that to start.

I got it on the first try at $80 Canadian dollars. Not sure if I would have gotten for less than that but overall $379 Canadian dollars is the total cost. Where on Hotels..com and Expedia..ca the total would have been $425.

Another reason for doing it now is that our Canadian Dollar is dropping in value and if I was to wait til say March the exchange rate will be much worse.

Was $80 a good deal you think for this Hilton?

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received a nice deal for this property (quite affordable for the DC area) and that this will work well for your needs this trip.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Thanks to you all helping me over the past 3 years on strategies for bidding. I stayed at Omni Shoreham and Marriott Wardman on my last two trips, being my friends live out this way closer to Alexandria and Criystal City, it would be more convenient in that sense to meet up, also the airport right there and the Metro as well. I like this. Was not sure of I could have started lower than $80 but figured saving $14 a night compared to booking it without bidding is better than nothing.
