I've been trying a couple of days by searching for 3.5 star hotels on Priceline and bids up to $57 per night failed.

 

I checked the winning bids and I decided to downgrade to 2.5 star hotels on searches.

 

I checked the acceptable areas and desires and started with $30 bids and raised in increments of $2 and $3.

 

When my $48 bid failed, I noticed something very interesting - the next median average for the hotels showed up $88, and I bid $1 more at $49 and I got an accepted bid in Arlington - VERY close to the DC area and an area closer than I was expecting (I was prepared to settle for $56-66 range as far as Fairfax).

 

I ended up getting a 3 star hotel according to Priceline (and 4 stars according to google)

Yes!

Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your win with the board... glad to hear this worked out even better than you expected.

 

Can you please clarify which hotel it is that you won, as it's not clear from your post and/or topic title:

Courtyard by Marriott Arlington Rosslyn ... in Arlington zone

Courtyard Marriott Arlington Crystal City/Reagan National Airport... in the Crystal City zone

 

Thanks.

It is the crystal city area

 

I just assumed wrong because of the Arlington in the hotel's name, thank you for checking up on me! Please edit my original post
