Thrilled with her Baltimore success, my friend had me help out with the next night of Easter weekend in DC. What's a gal to do who doesn't want to pay $200 a night for a 4-star in the heart of everything? Uh...Priceline, of course!
After much research (better bidding, bidding for travel, orbitz, hotwire, expedia, travelocity), we decided to rule out certain areas. This is what we ended up with (as I wrote on better bidding):
Helped a friend get two rooms for the Saturday night of Easter weekend. Was bidding in the Downtown area, Dupont Circle and Capitol Hill areas. Previous bid was $75. Received counter-offer to raise it by $22. No thanks. Added free re-bid zone and upped it by $5 to $80.
Offer accepted for $80 per room. (2 rooms) $160 + $31.38. Total for both rooms is $191.38. Less than it would've been for one room on their website.
Renaissance Mayflower Hotels
1127 Connecticut Avenue Northwest
Washington, DC 20036
Started via the PRICELINE link from this website, as always!
My friend is very happy with the results!
