lee1 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 After a lengthy list of failed bids for the Rochester region I finally landed the Park Plaza Hotel for 53.00. I first bid 48.00 and received rejection and an immediate rebid offer to raise my original bid by $14.00. (This is something Priceline does when you are close - as a bidding strategy I suggest to never go up as much as they indicate) I added the Rochester Northwest region and raised by bid by $3. and was rejected. I then added the Henrietta/South region and added another $2 my bid was accepted. I used the Savings Barn link for this bidBefore my final round that led to the sucessful bid here is a list of failed bid efforts.East Rochester 4* 48-51East Rochester 3* $44-48East Rochester 2* $41-46Added Woodcliff 3* and 2* for the same bids noted aboveDowntown 4* $45 - $48 (This will often land the Hyatt)Downtown 2* $40- 43I also added South 2* and went to $43 as well.My unusual approach to bidding in this instance was due to the fact that we are going to Rochester for a5 K run in the morning on the 4th. So we just needed something in the region. However I am glad we got the Park Plaza for the pool - and easy main road drive to the run.
