Priceline Hotel: Bidding for a week? Is it possible on Priceline?

[bunduo]

We are going to be in DC for a week in June. I have had great luck using Priceline in the past for one or two night stays but never for any longer than that. Is it possible to bid for 7 nights? As anyone ever done it successfully?

Yes, it's possible and others have been successful, but it depends upon your bidding limit and occupancy levels throughout the length of your stay. If you're unsuccessful for the full 7 days you can also consider SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID.

Are you ready to bid now? What are the dates of your stay? What is your maximum bid and minimum star rating?

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

I appreciate the links. Yes, I have been bidding. Just finished without any luck. The dates are 6/13 to 6/20. After researching this forum, my bids were for a 4 star only. My maximum bid will eventually be $120 but I think it is too soon to go that high. The bids were as follows:

1st: $80 White House Downtown

2nd: $85 Convention Center Capitol Hill

3rd: $90 Dupont Circle

4th: $95 Springfield (no 4 star properties)

5th: $100 Suburbs North (no 4 star properties)

6th: $105 Crystal City (no 4 star properties)
