thereuare Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Based upon current prices i think this is going to be a tough win within your budget, but to give it a try:At the 4* level you have FIVE re-bid zones.

Vegeta Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 This strategy helped a friend of mine book that hotel 3 years ago through Hotwire, for a little more a night. The hotel was great--you'll be quite satisfied. And the WTC construction going on literally across the street is much more interesting now, and of course a short walk to the newly opened WTC Memorial.
