Priceline Hotel: Help needed - 4* 1 night 5/22 2 Rms MT

[arash]

I appreciate if you share your thoughts on this. I am trying to book 2 rooms in a 4* hotel somewhere in midtown for the night of 5/22 (Sat), preferably TS, MTW, or CPS. MTE and EE are fine too. I have tried since 5 days ago bidding from $136 to $166 using up all six re-bid zones with no success. Is it too soon to expect good catches? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

This is an expensive nite in NYC and $166 is not currently going to be enough for a 4* hotel for this nite. What is the best deal you're able to find thru conventional booking channels at a 4* hotel for this nite? What is your maximum bid for this stay?

Thank you. Believe it or not, this will be my very first stay in NYC. I bid based on other successful bids about which I had read, most of them achieved a day or two before their travel. I can go higher if necessary but I though I could wait a bit more. Would you be kind enough let me know what will be going on that very night and if ONE night stay prevents the bid to be accepted? Thanks.

A one night stay would not prevent a bid from being accepted, but if a particular day is extremely busy, a win will require a higher bid. Rates do vary from day-to-day (often significantly.) Possibly a big convention occurring on these dates?
