Bid Priceline through Better Bidding. Bid was for Midtown West for 1 Night (M, 6/29) Opening bid $123 and got it without any other attempts. Was offered to extend my stay, which I did, for $123 for the second night (T, 6/30) My logic was this... NYC being a larger city, there are multiple possible hotels in each level/area, so it's harder to predict which hotel. I really wanted the Sheraton New York (not the Manhattan) and/or the Hilton. I did not want The Warwick...which was a recent winning 4*-MTW for 6/30-7/2. There were high odds I'd get the Sheraton, but I wanted to keep my options open. So, I bid first for the 1st night of my 2 night trip. That way, if I did not like the hotel awarded, I could always pursue another angle for the 2nd night...since I was willing to move. Don't know if Priceline always offers the "extend your stay" option...but it's worked for me several times recently. And, I saved over $270 on my hotel bill...more money for some real NY Pizza and cheesecake! Thanks, Better Bidding!
