Priceline Hotel: 4* DC (Dupont Circle-Woodley Park) Hotel Palomar

[DCjoe]

I bid early on this one for a family member who is coming to town for the 3 days right after Labor Day, so all weekdays. The family member was concerned that the AARP conference starting on September 4 would push up rates and cause low availability as the date drew nearer.

This high demand does appear to be the case, as the nightly rate on omnihotels.com jumps from $189 a night on the 2nd to $399 a night on the 4th, the first day of the conference

So I worked my way up from $100 to $150 over a few rebids and a few days. Pretty happy with this win as the online average is $275 a night, and the Omni looks very nice and very convenient to the Metro and Rock Creek Park.
