Priceline Hotel: Confused About The Priceline Zones

[Sher]

I am working on a hotel for the weekend of March 13-16th.

My husband is attending a conference and it would be nice if he could get a Woodley Park hotel but I would be happy with Dupont Circle.

Currently, Hotwire lists $89 for a 4* Dupont Circle hotel that is a 50% savings: fitness, restaurant, internet, pool, business center, tennis nearby. It does not say boutique so I am guessing two things.

This price is about half of what the Palomar is listing for a prepaid room.

It is not he Helix which my friend recently bid for the same area because the description does not say boutique.

Thanks.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The above is a match for the Hilton Washington and Towers so that would be our best guess.

Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thank you. I never would have thougt of this hotel. If and when I decide to use Hotwire, I most certainly use the link.

I haven't researched Priceline in some time. I originally asked for help with Hotwire for D.C 3/13-3/16 but am not happy with the choices so I decided to jump over to Priceline.

Have the zones changed? I was looking for Dupont Circle-WoodleyPark but the closest I come is NW D.C. What am I doing wrong. I tried searching here for the zone listings but I just seem not to be able to find them.

I feel really stupid. I just did not go far enough on the sitel
