My first try at priceline. Thanks to the help of this site. here was my bidding strategy: 2 rooms. Dates of travel " Check in 8/12/05, check out 8/14/05" MTW 4* 121 add UES 132 add UWS 143. MTE 4* 121 add UES 132 add UWS 143. UM/CPS 4* 121 add UES 132 add UWS 143. MTW 3* 121 add UWS 132 UM/CPS 3* 121 add UWS 132 MTW + UM/CPS 4* 149 add UES 155 MTE + MTW 4* 149 ACCEPTED Intercontinental The Barclay I was almost ready to give up on priceline, as there was a 4 star in MTE on Hotwire for 156, which based on the hotel list on this site I had deduced was the W New York. After the recent posts here, I was HOPING to get the Waldorf (similar dates at 140-141 range) but this looks like a nice place too. Thanks for the helpful site!
