arbitrageur Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi,I'm trying to get a hotel in Downtown Boston or WTC for one night -- 3/16. I'd prefer downtown Boston. I'm looking at price over star quality. Do you think my max bid is too low? Any suggestions for modifying my bidding strategy? I'll post my bidding history below. 4*Downtown (DT)- $55+ Medford - $60New Bid DT + S. Boston (SB) - $65+ Medford - $70________3*DT - $47+ S. Boston - $52New Bid DT + Medford - $57+ SB - $65________2.5*DT - $55+ WTC - $60________4* WTCWTC + SB - $65+ Medford - $70Thanks in advance. Link to comment

Just a note, I haven't seen (but it doesn't mean it hasn't been won) any 4* hotels in the WTC area. It could be because the Seaport hotel is the only 4* in this area, but I could be mistaken.

arbitrageur Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Okay.... I struck out with the strategy above. I decided to add Copley since I saw people snagging it for $80/night. I was tight bidding from $70-$75-$77-$79 and got it for $79/night. Anyone willing to try $78?Thanks again for your help.
