Priceline Hotel: 4* DC (White House-Downtown) Capital Hilton

[galileocan]

This one was a tough one. Had been trying for a few days to secure a 4* hotel in downtown Washington D.C. for two nights on a weekend in April. I may have been impatient because this was not one of my better deals on Priceline and normally I find the best deals are within 1 week of arrival, although this still was a good deal. Had been shut out for the last few days bidding with re-bid zones in the neighbourhood of $65-$80. Now tried to up it slightly with the following results;

Bid 1 - Convention Ctr - Capitol Hill area, 4* - $75 - REJECTED

Bid 2 - Added White House-Downtown - $80 - REJECTED

Bid 3 - Added Crystal City - $85 - REJECTED

Bid 4 - Added Springfield - $88 - ACCEPTED

Capital Hilton has received some so-so reviews. Was hoping for the Renaissance. Nevertheless, a pretty good hotel and a good location.

Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $88.00

Subtotal: $176.00

Taxes & Service Fees: $34.37

Total Charges*: $210.37

Best price on the hilton.com website was $177/nt plus tax, so basically 50% off. I'm used to winning bids in the 60-65% off range, so although this is definitely a good win, its not as good as normal.
