MSulmeyer Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Greetings -- I'd be grateful for assistance to get a 4* in the upper west side (afraid I am limited to UWS on this trip), checking in March 15, out on the 17th. I tried this evening with 5 re-bids up to $150 but ultimately failed. I'd hoping not to go too much higher. Many thanks in advance for your suggestions. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 With only one 'known' 4* hotel in this zone and it is selling for $365/nite for your dates i think you are going to need to bid higher OR choose other nearby zones and take the subway or taxi to your destination in this area each day (which may end up costing less then bidding as high as you may need to go)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we will take it from there.EDIT TO ADD: as i was just looking further at prices and these dates i realized it's St. Patrick's Day and that is likely the reason for the high then usual rates.

MSulmeyer Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think you are quite right. If I expanded the zones to include Central Park South, Mid Town West, and Times Square, in that order of preference, how would you suggest I arrange my bids? Many thanks again for your help.

thereuare Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 At current rates I still think you're going to struggle at $150 for a 4* hotel due to the Parade... your best chances are to include MTE to your bidding as well and even then i think you'll need to go up to the $200 area... adding Downtown may get you something a under $200.If you want to first try for the zones you've previously indicated you can bid as follows:When bidding 4* in NYC you have SIX re-bid zones.
