Priceline Hotel: 4* Newark-Meadowlands (Jersey City) Westin

[kennyluo]

Please help with a bidding strategy in NYC during 9/2 - 9/6 for a 4*

My max bid would be 190, do you think its feasible for this period of time?

The location is listed in order of preference, but i prefer to land on the first 4 if possible.

I have tried all these zones with max bid up to 180 today with no luck, please help.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

$190 is worth trying, but I think if that doesn't work, you're likely not far off - my guess is that it may take just over $200.

If you'd like a strategy to give it a try (i agree with AaronJB... it think $200 will likely fall a little short, but not so far out of the realm of possibility that it is worth trying)... did you want to only start with the first FOUR zones in your preference, but up to your limit, and if rejected then include the other TWO zones... or does price ultimately rule out and the least expensive of any of the SIX is what you want to try for?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

I would choose the lowest price of the 6, and I can give $200 a try. Please help with a strategy.

Quite jealous of somebody who got W in MTE for 170 earlier this week with the exact same period I am going.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Decided to choose the cheaper of the 6 instead of focus on first 4, and do you have any opinion on the hotels in Hell Kitchen and how they are like?

[AaronJB]

The only known 4* in Hell's Kitchen is the Ink48, and I don't believe there are any other 4*'s that fall within that area - it's a small zone.

I don't think you're too far off, so I would proceed up by $5's.
