After a 2nd attempt still no luck. I took the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for a 4* in the financial district at $248. Ended up being the Doubletree by Hilton NYC Financial District. Thanks everyone for all of the help!

Ok, so I used the rebidding zones and all is going well. I have gotten up to $225 so far with no luck. Before I continue to invest time VS just taking the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal at $248 do you find that booking hotels is anything like booking flights where as if you book say on a Tuesday you can get a better deal? I am wondering at this point if I should wait and try again. I could conceivably wait until very close to my travel dates ( I do love to gamble :-) ). Thoughts?

What are 2 rebid zones withe 3* or less that I should be using? Thanks!

I am OK with all of these zones! Thanks for all of the information.

Here are the zones I believe to be acceptable: Chelsea Downtown - Financial District Empire State Building Lower East Side Madison Square Garden Midtown West Soho - Tribeca Times Square - Theatre District Union Square - East Village Please feel free to exclude any district that you believe to include an undesirable hotel or to be in a less than ideal location. I am willing to bid up to $250 but would like to start under or at $200 if you feel like that is reasonable. Thank you both for all of the help, I look forward to sharing my great price win with the site!

Yes, $250 would be acceptable. The reason I set my expectation at $200 was that yesterday PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals had a 4* in the financial district for $248 so I thought by bidding I could shave that number :-) Ideally I would like to be under $220 but being as the most important thing is getting a good hotel in a decent area I can certainly spend more to achieve that. Thanks for the help!

Hello all, Could you please assist me with a bidding plan for my trip to Manhattan from 10/15/2014 to 10/19/2014. What I am looking for is a 4 star hotel for $200 a night or less and I need 2 rooms. As far as zones, I am more concerned with getting a nicer hotel at a great price and less concerned with which zone I end up in. I would like a zone that has easy access to the subway though I remember in all of my previous trips plenty of subway access so I don't anticipate this being an issue. I also want to be below central park. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
