Priceline Hotel: 2.5* DC (Georgetown-Foggy Bottom) Renaissance M Street

[lovinnola]

I'm looking for a DC hotel near a metro (within 6 blocks or so). I'm having a hard time figuring out the safe zones to choose when bidding. I figure by choosing the White House and Convention Center areas I'd probably be safe. What about others?

Rates for most area hotels are $300-400/night. I'd rather not pay that much. I wass hoping to get a 3* or 4* hotel for less than $175 total. Do you think that's even possible?

Thanks.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I don't think you can guarantee the proximity to a Metro station that you are looking for. Have you searched HOTWIRE to see if anything is available in your price range and star quality? At least there you can take an educated guess as to the property and location, then determining if it is an acceptable distance from the metro.

Thanks so much for all your help. I finally got a room at the Rennaissance M St for $135/night. It's actually 3*. Their website quote $350 or so.

I searched in Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Downtown and White House areas. I tried many, many cheaper options, this was the first that worked.

I'm still jealous of all the reported $75 rooms listed, but since this is mid week through weekend, I'm pretty happy.
