Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* DC (Alexandria-Old Town) Sheraton Suites

[Zanshin]

I need some help. Visiting DC for tourism a few days from now.

I have been bidding for days using rebid zones, reducing the dates and upping my rates but have no luck getting anything at all, just heaps of rejections. That 'you're hotel is in the bag' thing is really pissing me off right about now.

I have tried up to $110 for 4 star Capital, Georgetown, Whitehouse. Foggy no luck.

I have tried up to $95 for a 3.5 star including Crystal City, no luck.

I can't try again until tomorrow and might have to try 3 star now but can't today because I used springfield as a re-bid zone and it has a 3 star.

How high will I probably have to go to get a 4 star in the middle of the action or a 3.5 in crystal city?

I think I have left it too late :)

Is Arlington an OK place to stay if travelling each day to the DC area to visit the sites? At the moment I am at the Westin in Jersey City, been here for 2 weeks as a base for Manhattan travel and it's been awesome.

Thanks

Given that this is an 8 day stay, that may be causing problems. Are you willing to split your stay? What would be your max budget per night?

Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links.

Have you tried adding Dupont Circle? I got the 3.5* Washington Marriott Wardman Park for $95/night June 15-17. There is a metro stop right next to the hotel. I actually bid for 2.5* or better using Dupont, Foggy Bottom, White House, and Convention Center(hoping for Capitol Suites)

I decided to go with HOTWIRE in the end. Got a 3.5 star suite in Old Town for $94 a night at the Sheraton Suites for the entire dates I wanted. Has a door between the bedroom and the living area which sealed the deal, as the person I am staying with on this trip is the worlds worst snorer and this morning I found her sleeping in the bath complete with pillows and mattress after I yelled at her this morning for the umpteenth time. :)

Good to see a hotwire deal, thought priceline was the way to go 95% of the time.

You can move this thread to the Hotwire forum or I will make new post in 12 hours.

BTW I used the HOTWIRE link through Better Bidding.

Cheers!
