Great, many thanks.

My bad, I should have mentioned that the search was for 1 room, 2 adults and 2 children.

Folks, Which hotel could this be? Price per night 26/6/18->27/6/18: $138 Complimentary: Free Internet, Free parking Amenities: Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Indoor pool(s), Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Smoke-free rooms Thanks in advance for any hint.

to summarize: The Empire Hotel, 4*, Upper West Side, Oct 31st - Nov 3rd (3 nights), Priceline Express price $277 per night Amenities: Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center.

The Empire Hotel, 4*, Upper West Side, Priceline Express price $277 per night

Thanks for all the responses and advcies. After failing to win the bidd for $242 I just booked it through Priceline Express for $277 per night using 10% discount coupon on top of that. Will not be looking further on the prices as I hate to see them going down :-) Cheers, AZ.

Hi "thereuare" and all, I am still bidding and reached $231 (need to wait 24 hours now...). with Express deal this hotel goes for $276 and with my extra 10% coupon it will be $248 - very close to my bidding number. As I mentioned, the same hotel went for $198 nearly in the same dates (2 days overlap out of 3). I'm curious: Is Priceline bidding engine "knows" I am consistent with this hotel and will not allow me to win cheap while allowing someone who bids for the first time to get a better deal? just having this "conspiracy thought" and wanted to check what you know about how it works.... Thanks, AZ.

I would say 240$. note that in PRICELINE EXPRESS deal this hotel goes for $277. So: 1. could you suggest a bidding strategy so I don't have to wait 24 hours? my understanding is that if I add Queensborough Bridge, maintaining dates and 4* requirement, I will be still biiding the empire - am I correct? what's my next option to continue bidding? 2. can you suggest a price strategy for each of my nexy attempts? Thanks, AZ

Thanks for yoru response. I wasn't aware of the marathon and prefer to stay in UWS for personal reasons. my dates are fixed, and if worse comes to worse, I'll change the zone but I want to try and keep it walking distance to 74th and Amsterdam. I was encouraged by the $198 winning bid I mentioned for the Empire on nearly the same dates - what strategy would you suggest to continue bidding? Thanks, AZ.

folks, As this is my first time using priceline bidding I don't want to make any mistakes and hence my request for help in building my bidding strategy. I am looking to stay in the upper west side Oct 31st - Nov 3rd. I believe the 4* hotel in priceline bidding syste, in the Empire. the calandar of wins shows 198$ per night in almost the same dates, so I gave it a try with 186$ and a day after with 189$ and was rejected... 1. any better hotel option you can recommend in the price range of $220-$230 or less? 2. could you suggest a bidding strategy so I don't have to wait 24 hours? my understanding is that if I add Queensborough Bridge, maintaining dates and 4* requirement, I will be still biiding the empire - am I correct? what's next after 3. can you suggest a price strategy for each of my nexy attempts? appreciate your guidance and help. Regards, AZ.
