Priceline Hotel: Help Needed 23 July - 27 July

[Jamie041]

Hi, I am new to bidding, although I have thought about it a number of times, but I keep getting cold feet (my wife says it may be age related, but I think it is the diabetes!!).

Anyway......

I am looking to get a 4* (or 5* if the Waldorf Towers evercomes up!) in either MTE or Times Square Theatre district for 4 nights from 23 July. However never ever having bid before I am looking for the best advice in making my bids. My budget is reasonably good (as if I book as normal through the hotels I would probaly pay $300+) so I am willing to go to about $250 per night (or even slightly higher) to get a good deal.

Any advice from the knowledgeable members in here would really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

JIM

Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding!

I doubt your budget is going to be an issue, but before suggesting a bidding strategy, would you be interested in what i believe to be the Roger Williams hotel at all for $169/nite? I ask for if this is acceptable you could drastically reduce your maximum bid down to $165 (from your previously stated $250/nite)

Let us know your thoughts on this property and we'll then suggest a strategy for you to follow based upon your reply.
