allybunnie Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi - Looking for a bidding strategy for 12/19 - 12/22 for a 4* hotel in Boston - Looking at this point to bid only in the Quincy Mkt/Financial or Harborfront/Aquarium zones at this time....this is just a last minute getaway, so looking to first see if I can obtain any "bites" staying at a max bid of approx 90.00...If after a day or two with no success I can adjust my max $$ amounts on my own...It looks as though at the 4* level I have 5 rebid zones to work with....if all of this fails I can ask for a new strategy adding maybe theatre distict or maybe beacon hill....but I want to try just the 2 zones to start... ...Thank you!!
