Priceline Hotel: Need Assistance 3* Shanghai

[SuntanD]

I can't find a lot of bidding history on 3* hotels in Shanghai. I require a room for 13 nights (June 8th to 21st) and can only stay in Huangpu or Pudong. Can you please offer some advice as to what I should bid? I would be fine with a 3* as I am trying to keep the cost down considering the amount of time I require a room.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel thru conventional booking channels? What is your maximum bid for this stay?

Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Thank you for your reponse.

The best rate I have found through other booking channels is a 3.5* in Pudong for $49.83 CDN (actually now thinking about it, probably the best rate I am going to get), but I always try to use PRICELINE to see what is available there. I noted 4* on Priceline going for $58 so thought it was worth a try. I was hoping to pay no more than $50 a night.

Again, your thoughts please.
