bigreddog Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 I am interested in Central Park South, Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Time's Square, Midtown East, Madison Square Garden, Empire State Building, Chelsea, or Downtown for the night of 9/1/2011.Please recommend starting bids for 4*, 3.5*, and 3* strategies to stay as low as possible. I suppose that I would go down to 2.5* if I have to. I don't know if it will be possible, but I would like to stay under $100.Thanks.

bigreddog Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks for your help. I used the PRICELINE link to start each bidding cycle.Bid 4* up to the $100 limit then Started with the 3.5* cycle. Received an offer at $85 to win by increasing to $113. Continued with $90 and won with $95.Got the Park Central New York listed as 3.5* in Central Park South for $95.00 + $27.49 T&F = $122.49 total.The hotel has mixed reviews but should work well for a quick overnighter.
