Priceline Hotel: NYC Soho July 9-10

[sonofabronc]

I see that winning bids of $135 to $145 for a 3.5* in SOHO usually show up as Sheraton whereas winning bids under $100 show up as the World Hotel.

I have read the FAQs and understand there is a risk, but do different hotels have different PRICELINE price points? I'm shooting for the Sheraton and would like to avoid the World.

Thanks,

Just bid $135 per room for two rooms 3.5* in SoHo for July 9-10. Received a counteroffer at $160. What should I do?

Yes, different hotels have different price points, but these can change on a day-to-day basis, and the $100=World Hotel while $135=Sheraton is much too general, imo. More likely is that $100 bids were accepted during low season (most of them were around the same timeframe) and the $135 bids were during a more expensive time.

If you haven't see it yet, this is a good thread regarding your issue above: DON'T BID HIGHER FOR A SPECIFIC HOTEL

If you still want to move forward, how high are you willing to bid for any 3.5* or higher hotel in the Downtown zone?

Let us know and we'll suggest a strategy to try going forward.
