Hotwire Hotel: 3.5 * Dupont/Embassy Row

[cinderellashopper]

I'm brand new here and looking for some help.

Booking a last minute trip for my family of 5 to Washington DC 8/25-8/31. Based on tripadvisor reviews I have determined that I'd like to stay at the Dupont/Embassy Row Embassy Suites. From what I can tell, that hotel isn't currently offered on hotwire. Do the hotels change often? Daily, hourly? I have a AAA rate quote of $213/night plus tax but I saw a $153 rate on the board from July that got my attention!! Any advice please?

Also, can I book for 5 on hotwire?

Thanks so much!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If going to use the opaque (PRICELINE and HOTWIRE) suppliers, you're probably going about this the wrong way... i wouldn't try to find the hotel you want and then look for it on HOTWIRE. Better to do a HOTWIRE search and see what is offered and then if you're happy with any of the offerings for the price.

With that noted, you can only search HOTWIRE for up to quad occupancy... after that you can either "take the risk" or book two rooms (which can often be cheaper than booking one room direct).

Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help. If you end up booking direct, please note that we have a link to the Embassy Suites in our support page and please use the links there to begin any hotel direct purchases you make.
