Hotwire Hotel: 3* DC (Arlington) Hilton Arlington and Towers

[bmasters]

I checked hotwire for dates June 19-26 with following results:

$105 4.5 star, which I believe to be Madison, but next two are mystery to me:

4* Alexandria Old Town for $102 (Westin??)

3* Dupont/Embassy for $109, Boutique, Fitness, Restaurant, Bus. Ctr, Hi Speed int (perhaps Helix?)

Any insight on these is much appreciated. I would go ahead and book the 4.5 star but I am hesitant about some of the Madison reviews since I might be able to score a Kimpton property at a lower star level for about the same price. I want to stay near $100 (or less is great) and above 3 star, don't want to be super-far...as in NO to Chantilly/Airport area. I am also travelling with two children ages 6 and 1 1/2, so the biggest room possible. I realize this is a tight needle to thread, but why do this much legwork if you don't get what you want, right??

Welcome to BetterBidding!

What are the amenities associated with the 4* Alexandria Old Town hotel? How many adults/children are you including in your search?

Well, that particular price/hotel seems to be gone today. I guess it won't do a lot of good to figure it out. But I am looking favorably at a 3* in Arlington for $69. My dates are June 19-26, and the amenities listed for this one are Smoke free, Restaurant, and hi-speed internet. This appears to me to be the Hilton Arlington, based on your "pinned" lists. I would like it very much if this is the case. Only thing to do now is book it and cross my fingers, but I can't imagine a better deal than a three star for $69 in DC. I welcome thoughts and feedback.

Happy to report that BB was right about the Hilton Arlington, I booked it a few moments ago (through your HOTWIRE link, of course) and I will add it to the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins.

Thanks, I wish I had found this site a long time ago!

Sweet! Thanks to the pinned list, I was able to correctly predict this win. It is listed on Hotwire as:

3*

Arlington

3.5 of 5 with 60+ reviews from Trip Advisor

amenities smoke free, restaurant, and hi-speed internet

I am mainly glad to find a hotel super-close to a metro station, my main objective. Getting a hotel in this city with this brand name for less than $100 a night is very exciting. I think I will be able to overlook a couple of poor reviews, and I don't always put a lot of stock in those, anyway.

Thanks again for such a great site.
