Bidding Need and Strategy

Frankfurt has two zones, East and West. The East zone incorporates the center city area, which was my preference for this one-night stay.

Better Bidding user rhkkmkhad reported an acceptance at the Marriott at a rate of USD 55 earlier this month. TOBB also had similar data, so my price parameters were fairly clear. The Marriott and the Le Meredien were the only 4* hotels named, however, all recent activity seems to have been at the MC
