Deeannjd Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 My budget is around $250-300 per night. I looked at hotel lists and wish to bid in these areas... Central Park South - 5 star or 4.5 star Midtown West - 4.5 star (has no 5 star?) Times Square 5 star only. Not interested in 4.5 stars in this zone. Any help with a bidding strategy is appreciated!
thereuare Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! What did you want to try for first... A 5* hotel in the zones above (that offer 5* bidding) up to $300/nite and if rejected then try for a 4.5* up to $300/nite... OR the least expensive 4.5* in any of your acceptable zones (up to $300/nite)??

thereuare Posted August 18, 2015 Report Posted August 18, 2015 Did you want to first try for a 5* hotel in TS or CPS up to $300/nite.... if that is rejected then try for a 4.5* in the MTW or CPS zones up to $300? Please confirm and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Deeannjd Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Posted August 18, 2015 Yes, I would like to try for 5* in CPS and TS first. If those rejected, then I would like to look at 4.5* in MTW and CPS only (not TS). Thanks for your help.

Deeannjd Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Posted August 18, 2015 I just have one additional question.... Based on hotel lists, the Westhouse and Quin are considered Central Park South. However, on priceline web site they are listed as Times Square. How do I know what hotels exactly I am bidding on?
thereuare Posted August 18, 2015 Report Posted August 18, 2015 The 'retail' side of PRICELINE uses different zone names and boundaries vs. the NYOP/bidding side (if you look closely you'll see a few zones on the retail side that don't exist on the bidding side) You can look at the location of The Quin and the The Westhouse and compare them to the boundaries on the PRICELINE bidding map (both are currently in the CPS zone) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
