Priceline Hotel: NYC 3* for 12/16/10 - 12/19/10

[bluesky12]

I am new at bidding for priceline.com. I need some advices on how to bid. I don't mind staying at MTW, MTE, TS, and CPS for 3*. If I am bidding do I need to open 4 windows to get more chances at bidding? Since bidding when I put in MTW and MTE at 3* I only can rebid if I add more zones. Any tips on how to bidding will be great thanks.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

First a few questions/comments regarding your zone choice(s)...

At the 3.5* level and under:

MTE - some of the hotels are about a 15 minute walk to the subway, is this acceptable?

CPS - has the Hudson hotel which gets decent reviews except for the notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... would this be acceptable?

Also, is there a reason you're not including the MSG and/or ESB zones in your bidding? MSG in particular often sees a lot of wins at the 3*/3.5* level and usually represents pretty good value.

What is your maximum bid for this stay?

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

I will probably wont do this location

CPS - has the Hudson hotel which gets decent reviews except for the notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... would this be acceptable?

This will one will fine

Also, is there a reason you're not including the MSG and/or ESB zones in your bidding? MSG in particular often sees a lot of wins at the 3*/3.5* level and usually represents pretty good value.

ESB mainly like to stay in the central location. But if ESB is close to the subway, i dont mind this either.

What is your maximum bid for this stay? My max bid will be at 150 per night

My location will be at MTW, CPS, TS, MSB at 3*
