drizz1129 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Couldn't find ANYTHING under 100 a night because of the inauguration, and just needed some place to crash after standing on the national mall all day! I lucked out and saw a 2* on hotwire for $59 and i knew i had a ton of rebidding zones, so i took my chances and lucked out! Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $40.00Subtotal: $40.00Taxes & Service Fees: $11.50Total Charges*: $51.50I can't remember if I used the PRICELINE link or not, I was so tired from my 2am wake up call on Tuesday morning that the whole day was a blur! I normally use the link, so hopefully I did this time!Thanks! Link to comment

drizz1129 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I wasn't quite expecting to see betterbidding.com mentioned in an article about the dirtiest hotels in the USA, but hopefully more people will check out the board now! congrats! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 :)For those that may be confused by the connection... the article was regarding the dirtiest hotels in the country, Hotel Carter wins the award (for which you can read the reviews HERE). The artilcle mentioned that the hotel's walk-up rate for a given nite was $99 while for the same nite there was a win posted on BetterBidding for a 4* hotel for $105.Thanks for the note! :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
