kjkeys88 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 I'm looking for guidance as to where to start bidding for the night of 6.27 (checking out 6.28) for DC in the following zones: White House-Downtown, Capitol Hill - Convention Center, Dupont Circle - Woodley Park, Georgetown - Foggy Bottom.I'd be willing to bid up to 145 for four star, but hopefully lower than that if I need to drop to three star.Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

kjkeys88 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 As of tonight, I've bid the sole night 4* up to $160. I don't plan on going any higher, so on to three stars. Where do you suggest I begin?Thanks

kjkeys88 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Posted May 18, 2006 Well, I definitely need a place to stay, and I think I'd prefer to have 3*. I wont' go above 160, but I hope it doesn't come to that. Last night I bid 3* up to $110 without sucess.

kjkeys88 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 Sorry for not updating when this was relevant, but, in case it helps anyone, I ended up staying at the Radisson at Reagan National Airport for a bid of 150. Or what ended up being a full five dollars less than the Radisson's internet rate, should have done better non priceline research.
thereuare Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Is this in the Crystal City zone? (which wasn't included in the bidding strategy above) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
kjkeys88 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Posted October 14, 2006 Yes, crystal city. Bidding was unsuccessful up to 160 for all Washington proper zones, and, out of mild desperation i added crystal city.
