broooce Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 Looking for a hotel 16th May to 19th May, been entering 4* and 3.5* in Capitol Hill area and starting anything between $60 and $71 and cant get close.I have added WhiteHouse downtown.Am I being too optimistic at this price? I have seen the Hotel George go for $69 for the same dates!Am I doing something wrong?thanksDave
thereuare Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 The Hotel George may have had a limited number of rooms (or only that room) for sale at that rate and it's now gone... or they could have had more rooms get booked thru conventional means and 'pulled' (or raised the price) of the inventory offered to the opaque suppliers.Based upon rates i'm currently seeing, i think ~$70 is a bit opitmistic for these dates... what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable 3.5* or higher hotel in these zones thru conventional booking channels? What is your maximum bid for this stay?It appears that the last nite of your stay may be the "difficult" one... is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
