AlwaysBooking Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 A quick trip to NYC just came up and could use some help with a bidding strategy. Ideally, would like a 4* in any Manhattan zone EXCEPT upper west side arriving 7/10 and departing 7/12 In the best of all possible worlds, would love to keep it to $150 plus fees per night, but might be able to boost it a bit. Thanks for your help!
thereuare Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 To avoid any confusion, please include the zones that you are willing to accept, rather than those that you aren't willing to accept.Also, as time is running thin, if you're rejected for a 4* up to $150, is your next plan to raise your bid price OR lower your star rating OR include other nearby zones? If lowering to 3.5* or less, note that:MTE - some 'known' hotels can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway... is this acceptable?CPS - has the Hudson Hotel, which while well located, has notoriously small rooms (~140 sq. ft.).. is this acceptable?Let us know the above and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

AlwaysBooking Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 No problem - Would be happy to stay in Chelsea, Downtown/Financial, ESB, Hell's Kitchen, MTE, MTW, Tribeca, Times Square or CPS. If can't get it, would consider raising bid and adding UWS. I have an emergency back up of a friend's couch, but would prefer a hotel :) Thanks for the help!

zxd Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Just a question, why do you do CPS on a separate process?
AlwaysBooking Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 Sorry to report the couch wins this time. Bid up as directed using your links, but no success. Will try again as I have another short trip coming up. Thanks for your help though - much appreciated!
