Welcome to BetterBidding!

This hotel has not yet been identified, but some guesses would be the Hilton or the Westin, and perhaps even the Millenium (although hotel seems lower rated than a 4*) or the Radisson (typically not a 4* buy highly rated in this zone); my first two guesses i would think are the most likely candidates, but really not very confident as this is just a guess.

If you go for it please let us know how it works out, and please use THIS LINK to begin your purchase.

Another option is to try Priceline, and we'll suggest a strategy if you'd like to try that route.

I am trying to get the Westin Cincinnati. I just bid on Priceline using the following information:

4*

Downtown Cincinnati - Riverfront Area

5/13-5/15

$55

It was rejected. Since I can't change my dates or star level, I'm going to wait the 3 days and try again with a slightly higer bid. Any strategy suggestions are appreciated.

You have plenty of RE-BID ZONES available at the 4* level. I assume you're not familiar with re-bidding so please read the previous link and ask any questions that you may have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board.

Once you understand re-bidding, let us know your maximum bid and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

FYI, I just booked a 4* downtown Cinci for 4/15-16 on Priceline and got the Hilton Netherland Plaza for $61. Be careful if you are shooting for the Westin, as you may get something else...
