More than 1 week I have been bidding. I am willing to spend $120 tops for 3* or 2.5* hotel in midtown and downtown. Maybe I don't have good strategy? I hope to find a decent hotel with no roaches, rats,peeled walls and shared bath. Yesterday : I tried DT 2.5 * $98 rejected add MTE 2.5 $103 rejected add MTW 2.5 $110 rejected add MTS 25 $115 rejected Lowest rate in hotels website: Exchange hotel : $249 Courtyard Midtown East : $329 The Belvedere:US$254.00 (May 28,2007 - May 29,2007) US$314.00 (May 30,2007) Ramada Plaza: Mon. 05/28/07 USD 189.00 Tue. 05/29/07 USD 189.00 Wed. 05/30/07 USD 209.00 Seems that rate is higher for Tue and Wed. Should I divide my bidding hoping that I'll get extended stay invitation? I have also tried for jersey city hotels.. but I prefer to get something in manhattan. thank you in advance
