slolar Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Planning on visiting NYC 8/26-8/30 and only want to stay in MTW. Prefer 4*, happy with 3* would like to have a max bid $150. Do not want to split stay. Is this reasonable or hopeless? I think I have 2- 4* rebids by adding UES and UWS. How do I incorporate 3* hotels in my bidding strategy? Any advise is greatly appreciated.Sara Link to comment
