larrylaffer Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I split my 5/1 to 5/6 dates into two lots. Check my wins on the board posted down below. Maybe you will get similar prices using the savingsbarn.com link. Link to comment

dqman Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I wanted to report in on my success.Using the bid format outlined above we ended up with The Fairfax at Embassy Row. We paid $115 a night for May 3rd through May 7th. We are thrilled! I know we could have saved even more money if I had been patient...but I'm not! Just knowing that we have a room that we are happy with is worth a few bucks more! I am hoping D.C. has a late spring...the Cherry Blossoms in May would be fabulous!This savings along with the fabulous deal we got at Morgans NYC., we saved over $1500 on our 10 night trip! :) Thank you to everyone that makes this site possible...especially the contributions of thereuare Link to comment
