Didn't have time to shop around for a room so started the bidding for 3* in SFO (Airport) area at $69 and received immediate acceptance at the Doubletree.

Offer Price $69.00

Taxes/Fees $17.28

Total $86.28

The published internet rates on all the local 3* hotel websites including Doubletree, Westin and Sheraton were into the $159/night range.

Thanks for your insight Mr. Drew. I think I will re-try in 72 hours, taking into account thereuare's MTS 4* condition.

thereuare - you obviously know your stuff as I do have a cheaper rate at the Crowne Plaza for nights first two nights with a bump up to $260 for the third night. I don't really want to switch hotels. Let me know if there are any other strategies to consider.

Thanks for the guidance. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. Should I try again in 72 hours and if so, use the same strategy?

New to PL and am hoping for a bidding strategy to help secure a 4* room for 10/11-14 in Times Square area (MTW). I'm willing to go to MTE or other suggested areas not too far from others in my group in Times Square. I have a backup reservation, but am hoping to get a better deal or better hotel than my $225/night at the Crowne Plaza. Appreciate the assistance.
