Priceline Hotel: 4* DC (Convention Center-Capitol Hill) Grand Hyatt

[hcm]

Took a lot of bids to get this one this time - started two days ago by starting bid at $60 for a 4* in Capitol Hill (the Grand went for $60 a few days ago), then raised bid by $5 for each of the 5 available re-bid zones. Got up to $85 without a hit.

Yesterday, came back and started again at $80 (I always dip down by $5 or 10 or so when I try again the next day, in case the same bid that lost one day wins the next). Bid up to $105 before I ran out of rebid zones.

Came back tonight and started at $100, hit on the first bid. Ouch! Should have started lower! So, if you're bidding on this one, I suggest you start low and use re-bid zones to come up.

I wanted this hotel, or the other recently offered 4* in this area, the Renaissance, because they have good fitness facilities with sauna/steamroom. Hey, anyway $100 is a steal, I'm smiling even if I didn't get the best deal anyone else has recently gotten.
