Priceline Hotel: Priceline Newbie Needs Help

[dylanfan61]

Hello, all:

I've never used Priceline before, but I have a seven-day trip to Washington coming up in early January. I'm a grad student, in D.C. to do research. Money is THE issue for me, so I need help devising a strategy to get the most hotel for the least amount.

I'm willing to go as high as $60ish for a 2.5 star. The following areas are great: Capitol Hill, White House, Dupont Circle.

Any help?

Thanks a bunch.

This is great. I'll let you know how it goes. (I could probably go up to $70, but I'll tell you that, not them :)

Merry Christmas,
