Priceline Hotel: 4* DC - need bidding advice for 5/13

[Schultz64]

I am looking to extend my stay and need advice for the night of Monday March 13.

We are currently staying in Dupont Circle area. Goal would be to have a 4* room at less that $120. Is this possible for that night?

I'm going to guess that it's not going to be possible :)

As you mentioned in your Priceline Win for the other dates, most hotels are sold-out for this individual nite.

As well, if you do a HOTWIRE search you'll find that there aren't any hotels (4* or otherwise) even offered in the typically bid zones (ie- white house, dupont, capitol, etc). I also searched easylclick and anything priced below $400 was listed as "on request" which means they don't have availablity and would need to contact the hotel to try to get more rooms at their precontracted rate, which in this instance, would seem like a very slim possibility.

I think you're going to have to 'give' someplace... either in price or quality... or perhaps both.

It isn't the Omni, but Quikbook has the Best Western Capitol Skyline for $149/nite, which is about $100 less than directly from the Best Western website and was the only thing i could find remotelly 'reasonable'.

If you let us know which zones you're willing to consider we can suggest a strategy to follow so you can at least rule it out.

Thanks very much for your help, Thereuare

- I'll think we'll revert to 'Plan B' and leave town a day earlier. Still plenty to see in the neighbouring states...
