Priceline Hotel: 3.5* DC (Capitol Hill - Convention Center) Courtyard By Marriott Convention Center

[Noela]

Hello,

 

I have to be in Arlington  (near Ballston Metro area) for two days, begining this sunday, 4/12.  I have been bidding for a 3.5* (min) hotel starting at $80 all the way to $110 without much luck. My max budget /night is $100.  Give that might travel date is so close, would it be better to look for a 2* hotel? 

 

If so, what bidding or express deal strategy will you advice?

 

thanks - Noela

With current rates and your budget is Arlington your best option.

 

I see on PRICELINE EXPRESS a 2*/$108 what I believe is Comfort Inn Pentagon City

 

Hot.wire got a 2*/$88 what could be Inns of Virginia - Falls Church

 

Maybe not the best options unless you can stretch your budget?

 

Let us know your thoughts and we'll go from there.

If your click THIS LINK you will receive a message that the property is no longer available for your dates, but within the results will be a 3.5* in the Capitol Hill-Convention Center zone for $89/nite with Restaurant, Free Internet, Business Center, Fitness Center. (please confirm your dates on the landing page)

I'm not sure which property this is, but given your previous rejections outside of the city up to $110/nite, i would jump at this opportunity as it has a better location inside the city and a very good 8.0+ user review rating.
