Hotwire Hotel: Hotel in D.C. area

[jonb]

I will be taking my family of 4 to D.C. in August from the 8-13th. I did bid on PRICELINE and secured the Sheraton for 3 nights (Sat-Mon) but am in need of a hotel for two more nights the 11th and leaving on the 13th. I went to HOTWIRE and they list a hotel with a 3.5 ratings in Crystal City for $69. Would anyone know which hotel this is? Also, should I be looking at a different area since I am spending our first three nights in this location. Would Alexandria be better. I would like to spend around $75 a night which I am paying at the Sheraton.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unfamiliar with DC, so I can't say which area would be better. What are the amenities showing with the Crystal City listing in question?

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links.

Hotel has fitness center, pool,restaurants, business center and high speed internet.

I added the win as stated.

Thanks for sharing your previous win with the board.

The HOTWIRE property above is a match for the Hyatt Regency Crystal City so that would be our best guess.

Wether to stay in Crystal City again or in DC itself is really dependent upon your budget vs. convenience. The Hyatt gets good reviews, but if you're budget is flexible what appears to be the Hotel Palomar is available for your dates (2adults/2children... Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Internet, Business and shows a 4.5/5.0 based on 320+ reviews (if it doesn't show this info it may be a differnet property)) for $109 and it is one of the most favorably reviewed hotels in the city.

Thank you for the information. I will think about it. I am going to check about the parking fees at Palomar before making my decision.

I am looking at a 3.5 hotel (hotwire) for 8/11-8/13 for $79. It has suite, airport shuttle, nonsmoking rooms, fitness center, pool, resturant, business center, laundry, tennis nearby. Any educated guesses with this located in Alexandria.

jonb,

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all amenities" link under the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above? Does it show a Hi-Speed Internet icon?

The above is a match for the Sheraton Suites so that would be our best guess.

Not sure if the Suite icon dropped off on the listing above (you didn't mention it in the post above this one) but this property has been seen both with and without the Suite icon.
