[MJL065]

Hotel Name w/ star rating: Hilton Washington and Towers, 4-star

Zone: Washington

Sub-Zone: Embassy Row (Dupont Circle)

Price: $89 (got for 3 rooms, huge savings)

Date: 9/25/07-9/26/07

Bidding Strategy Tried bidding 4-star, 3-star, and 2.5 star in Arlington and towns close to Arlington. Priceline rejected offers all the way up to $144. Then took this offer on Hotwire, expecting the Westin (based on past comments). I'm very happy with the Hilton. I know this hotel and this is a welcomed surprise.

It looks like it is not letting me by with a date in the past. I researched and it looks like the same deal is there now for $95 -

Amenities:

Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Tennis Nearby (Best Value) tag.

Hotel was really nice. It is old and possibly not quite what Priceline would call 4-star, but still a great deal for $89.

I got a similar deal on an upcoming stay in New Orleans downtown (4-star, $62, Intercontinental) with hotwire. I will summarize this later when I have time.

I'm not having much success with priceline lately. I wonder if there is some customer deal limit with priceline.

Many hotel amenity combinations look the same and there can be very subtle differences.
