As title says I need bidding srategy for Portland ME for strict dates of check-in July 27th to check-out July 30th.

Portland-Portland West

or S. Portland/Scarborough is all I want, not a cent over 100 BEFORE taxes. I know it's the summertime but hopefully I can get what I want since it's not a holiday weekend.

Accepting only 2.5* to 3.5* range.

Looking at nyo price for those dates at this time S. Portland/Scarborough avg 2.5* is 179, avg 3* is 234, avg 3.5* is 232

And for Portland-Portland West avg 2.5* is 305 and avg 3* is 244 and 3* is highest "class" for this zone

Did you first want to try for a 3.5* up to your limit, if rejected try for a 3* and if rejected again try for a 2.5*... OR is your goal the least expensive 2.5* or better for this trip?

Portland-Portland West has not 3.5* properties, so we won't include that in your 3.5* bidding.

When bidding 3.5* in Portland ME you have TWO re-bid zones... at the 3* level you have ONE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)

Stupidly got anxious since they rejected the 95 bid and kept trying to press me to bid 108 (maybe that 108 would've got me a downtown room lol...doubt it) :/ ....doubt i'll save much on this trip but I got the Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Portland, Me (South Portland by Maine Mall). Probably overpaid by 20. I hope to God the internet is free.

It's a 3*

Congratulations on your success!

I'm not really sure of how your bid or what you feel you did wrong, but hopefully this property will be convenient for your plans and you'll enjoy this leg of your trip.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

I forgot to mention after the rejected the 95 bid that they accepted a 102/per night bid....I went over my max actually is what i did wrong....but according to NYOP I still saved 57%. Still seems pricey it being being almost 7 miles from downtown and again it's the weekend (even if it's a summer weekend....i've stayed cheaper in other areas this summer).

Also the hotel is a decent 3* not a 3.5*. Thinking back to when I came up this way for memorial day weekend...the bids they are accepting aren't really much cheaper it being a non-holiday weekend. It's busy here but not as packed as they were letting on.
