bridgeto Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 I started out bidding for the entire trip in Dupont Circle which is where we wanted to be. Started at $75 and went up to $100 for 4 star only. Increased in $5 increments and added zones without 4 stars - no luckDecided to split up trip into 2 segments. The first was 6/15 - 6/18. Started at $80 for 4 star in Dupont Circle and was successful at $85 for 2 rooms at Westin Embassy Row. I was surprised to get Thurs night at this rate but then the Palomar Hotel is opening on 6/15 in Dupont Circle area. Maybe this added inventory helped.Next segment of 6/13-6/15 was more difficult. Started at $80 for 4 star in Capitol/Convention Center. Increased in $10 increments via same strategy as above. Added Dupont circle at $120. Was finally successful at $130 for 2 rooms at Renaissance Washington DC which is in Capitol/convention center. Was thrilled to get this as going rates for these two days are much higher. I suppose I could have gotten the second segment at a cheaper price if I waited but wanted to be done with it.
