58sherri Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 This is listed as a 3* in the Convention Center - Capitol Hill Area.Booked through SavingsBarn.It took 3 days to get this.Following the fantastic advice on this board ->>We wanted a 4* in the Whitehouse area so we started there @$85. Added Springfield @ $90, then Crystal City at $95 (neither have 4* hotels).Went back and did about the same thing but added Convention Center Capitol Hill and went to $100.We decided to add 3* rather than change our location so I had to wait a day as Crystal City has 3*.Looked at every discount site we could find and decided we needed to increase our budget (!)Went through the same process today without Crystal City, included Convention Center and 3*.Success at $125 at the Washington Court Hotel.Thanks for this board!(sorry I didn't get the post title correct -- I can't seem to correct it) Link to comment
drnzyme Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 WOW, DC is expensive. $125 for a 3* near the convention center?! I thought SF/LA was expensiveWhat was the best rate listed from the hotel's website? Link to comment
58sherri Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 $396! for that week. We originally thought we could get a 4* for ~100 but after looking at every 'discount' site I could find I realized that this summer looks to be expensive. There is a NYT article mentioned in the "Run of the House' section on this board that says rates are going to be high. Link to comment
