kascherr Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Hello. I'm looking for a bid strategy for a 4* in MTE, MTW and TS for October 2-5, 2012. We need 4 rooms (does this normally help or hinder our bidding?) and MTE Waldorf Astoria would be our first choice if there is a specific strategy for that, but we are open to MTW and TS as well. We are looking to keep it under $175 total cost per room per night. Thanks for the help!

thereuare Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Multiple rooms is often a non-factor, but if there is an effect, it is a negative one as the hotel needs to have loaded enough rooms at their lowest rate to meet your demand.Your $175 all-in rate is equivalent to about a $145/nite bid, and at current rates that unfortunately is not likely going to be enough for these dates.Using MAPS and HOTELS.com and/or BiddingHelper.com, what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel in one of these zones?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

kascherr Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 BiddingHelper.com shows a couple of 3.5 and 4 star hotels for $239-$279 for that time frame. Would it help if I added 4* in CPS into our search?
thereuare Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Adding CPS won't hurt... but at the moment i don't think it's going to change the outcome.What is the hotel that you found at $239/nite? (or any hotels near that price??)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
