Used the bb PRICELINE link

 

I admit I find bidding addicting and added Georgetown for no real reason at all LOL. 

 

The last few days, I was bidding in Crystal City to try to get the Westin Crystal City (free wifi in the room and because I'm a travel agent, they were willing to throw in a free breakfast each day). I could see it on Hotwire and Priceline Express for $104 a night based on the amenities. I started at $70, then $75, then $80, and then $85. All rejected. I added Georgetown in the mix for $86 (while Crystal City was still selected) and got the Marriott Georgetown. It's a good buy I just wanted free wifi in the room and maybe breakfast but that's okay =)

 

Price comparisons on the Marriott 

Priceline Express- I don't think it is on there . The only 4 star in Georgetown Foggy Bottom is going for $269. 

Hotwire- Same. Don't think it was on there based on the amenities. 

On Marriott's website it is going for $279 a night but with AAA it's $206 a night. With my travel agent rate it is $194 a night. 

 

 

Anyway wifi in room is $13 a night and the breakfast buffet is $20 a day. I emailed them asking if they comp that for agents (probably not). If I end up paying for both it comes out to $119 versus if I had taken the $104 Westin Crystal City (inclusive of breakfast and in room wifi). Difference of $15 a night so not bad. 

 

I'm just very surprised that the Marriot accepted my deal while the Westin Crystal City which frequently has low deals didn't. 

 

Maybe this will help people =)

Quick update. Even though I did not book direct with Marriot, this location said that they will still give Marriot members in room complimentary wifi which is great! A lot of brands are starting to make it where you only get complimentary wifi if you book on their website and not through something like Expedia or PRICELINE

 

Anywho saving $26 on wifi

Back from my trip. The hotel itself was comfortable and great value for the money. The location had cheap eats nearby as well as a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. That being said it was not that convenient to the Metro stop.It's half a mile and should only be according to google Maps an 8 minute walk, it's more like 20 with all the traffic. Got the free wifi which had a strong signal. Shower was good too, and the employees were friendly. I would stay here again only if I got a good rate again, otherwise the location for me was not that great (I would prefer having a Metro stop in the hotel or within 2 blocks).
