Priceline Hotel: 3.5* DC (Crystal City) Hyatt Regency

[ak_jorge]

After a lot of research on this site, and debating between HOTWIRE and PRICELINE, we finally decided to go with Priceline.

While there is no 4* property listed on the hotel list here, that was an option on Priceline. We bid $55 (with a warning that it had little chance of being accepted), and sure enough, it was rejected.

We dropped our bid to $50, but added the 3.5* level. The Hyatt Regency accepted this bid; total price with taxes and fees was $64.26.

We submitted an identical bid for Feb. 13-14, which also was accepted by the Hyatt Regency (Crystal City) ... that's listed separately. We are using Reagan National Airport as a jumping-off point for a trip to the Caribbean, and the Hyatt has been very accommodating. They are allowing us to store several bags at the hotel (for free) for a week, and of course the courtesy shuttle is a nice amenity, too.

Looks like standard rooms on the Hyatt site are going for $92 (shockingly low, I think), but we still saved almost 50% by checking here first. Thanks again!

Oh, and we definitely used the PRICELINE link from BetterBidding.

Congratulations on your success!

Sounds like a very nice deal... and even better that the hotel is being so accomodating by storing your bags! (kudos to them for understanding the hospitality side of the business!)

Glad to see you're happy with the results and that you have a great trip planned!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay and this star of your journey.
