Priceline Hotel: how do i win this?

[mongee]

How much will be the start for the bidding to win 3* in Jersey city?

It's my first time and I started with $70 now, $75 and still haven't got it.

Can anyone advise me for winning this?

Thanks for the awesome site. ^__^

May 5 nights stay affect the bidding rates or the wining?

I am looking for 3* property in Jersey city from 8/10 for 5nights.

I am going to raise the bid to $80 or $85?

I feel it's because of 5 nights staying relatively long stay that keeps me away from wining.

Will I be better off, if I go seperate the nights to other properties?

Check in date- 8/10

Check out date-8/15

Wether you'de be happy with a lower * rated hotel in NJ ?? Possibly but not lower than 2.5*

Thanks for your advice, Blindman!

What is your maximum bid?

There are certain nites i don't think you have a chance for certain nites (unless you're willing to pay close to 'traditional' rates), so what will you do if unsuccessful for part of your stay?

[mongee]

I guess I can pay $110 per night for maximum.

Actually, I am going to N.Y. but since I have a friend I will stay in Jersey.

If Jersey does not work, I am willing to stay in N.Y. as well.

My point is that i think you really only have a shot at one nite at the Hyatt (even up to $110/nite).

If unsuccessful, i doubt you're likely to find anything in NYC within your price range either.

Would you want just one nite at the Hyatt? What would be your back-up plan?
