Good to know, will give it a try!

Thanks

Thank you very much for your help on the bidding strategy :-) It worked perfect and just got a win: Hilton New York Fashion District for $133/night

Lets exclude CPS area then

Yes, I will actually try bidding before. Quite open on the location, we can add more zones than previously: Chelsea, Union Square, Greenwich Village, Midtown East, Midtown West, Central Park South. 4* and max $150.

One more question actually, for express bidding, is it better to use Price.line or Hot.wire?

Thanks!

Went up to $135 but I didnt get anything...left on holidays and left it there...I can see that now Midpoint has an hotel above 3.5

I also had to change my dates 29/08 to 31/08

I will now try PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals on Priceline. Would you please have an idea of the following hotels:

 - 4 star rating - Midtown West area - rated of 8.0 - business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center - $159 / night

 - 4 star rating - Central Park South area - not rated - Business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center / Pets Allowed / Free Internet - $157 / night

 - 4.5 star rating - Midtown East area - rated of 8.0 - Business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center / Pets Allowed - $168 / night

 - 4 star rating - Upper West Side area - rated of 7.0 - Business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center / Pets Allowed / Indoor or Outdoor Pool - $149 / night

Many thanks in advance,

A.

Would be Greenpoint I guess

Makes sense...will give it a try and let you know!

Here are all the zones in NY and the highest star rating

Brooklyn: 4

Central Park South:

Chelsea: 4.5

Coney: 2

Downtown: 5

Empire State: 5

Greenpoint: 3

Greenwich Village: 4

Hell's Kitchen: 4

Long Island: 4

LES: 4.5

Madison Square Garden: 4

Midtown East: 5

Midtown West: 4.5

Morningside Harlem: 3.5

Queensborough: 4

Soho: 5

Times Square: 5

Union Square: 4

Upper East Side: 5

Upper West Side: 4

What should I do now? :-)

Thanks for the strategy.

Just to make sure:

I start choosing Chelsea with $110 bid

if rejected I add Greenwich Village with $110 bid

if rejected I raise to $115 choosing Chelsea only

if rejected I add Greenwich Village with $115 bid

etc

Is that correct?

Thanks

Having read a few reviews I would rather pass on the Hudson hotel. Would you then have a different strategy (even excluding CPS not to take into account Hudson hotel)? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I meant Midtown west. I would also add Central Park South in addition to the zones of my previous post.

And thanks for the guess for Hotwire.

Hi all,

Max budget of $150/night and 3.5* minimum rating.

Thank you very much for the answer.

I will have a look at the hotel mentioned and let you know if I go forward with the booking.

I did! They indeed gave me back the difference in price.

Reporting this win in Florence (4*, Florence Central, $90).

Started the bids quite low at $55 but only got it at $90...not a great bargain as I found the same hotel to be cheaper in a different website...

Hope that helps.
