Priceline Hotel: NYC 6/2 - 6/4 bidding strategy

[AOK]

Hi, I recently tried bidding for a hotel for the second (thurs) through fourth (sat) of june, but was rejected. I bid all stars, up to 113 bucks, but couldnt get an acceptance. i suppose i could go up to 125 bucks or so a night, but not really much more, especially given the priceline service fee.

Any suggestions on how i should try to bid again, given that this will be my last chance before thursday to make bids?

Do you think splitting my bid will be a good idea since friday night will probably be pretty expensive?

I would be willing to stay anywhere in the city that has clean facilities, and a low murder rate.

Thanks in advance.

What is your maximum bid per night and would you consider splitting your bid? Would you consider staying in Jersey City??

Welcome to BetterBidding!

What zones did you bid?

If not successful up to $125 where will you stay?

Since you're looking for the lower tier properties, why not use EasyClickTravel where you can actually know the hotel beforehand and be able to research the 'safety level' of the hotel.

I Bid every zone, so I was frozen out until today. If i cant get a succesful bid, I will stay in a hotel i have reserved in Long Island, but I dont really want to stay there b/c it will be pretty inconvenient.

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the link. Would you reccomend the "off the record" hotels? on EasyClickTravel?

If the price is right, why not?
