crone92 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I'm looking for help with a Priceline bidding strategy for a trip to NYC with checkin on 11/14 and checking out 11/16. I'd like to get a 4* in either CPS, MTW or TS and can go up to $250 but would prefer around $200. I've noted on other threads questions about small rooms and wonder if you mean The Hudson. I've stayed at the Hudson and I'm totally fine with the tiny rooms as it's just me. I would also be willing to go to 3 1/2 * if necessary. Can you suggest a good strategy?Thanks.
thereuare Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!I'd like to get a 4* in either CPS, MTW or TS and can go up to $250 but would prefer around $200... I would also be willing to go to 3 1/2 * if necessary.How high do you wan to bid for a 4* ($250 or $200) before lowing your star rating and trying for a 3.5*?Yes, the Hudson is the hotel often referred to with the notoriously small rooms.Let know the above and we'll advise accordingly.

crone92 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks! I'd say I would go up to $225 before lowering the star rating to 3.5*.
