cabinboy Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 Hi,My wife and I are trying to book a 3 star hotel in Manhattan between October 10 -14 for no more than $150 a night. The zones we are looking at are MTE, MTS, MTW, UM-CPS, UWS, and, if need be, D-SH-FD. Also, if necessary, we could split up the bidding and stay at different hotels during the trip (we travel light). Any helpful bidding strategies would be appreciated.thanks,Marc
thereuare Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 Do you have a back-up reservation or found anything close to your maximum bid? We can suggest a strategy to try... but i'm doubtful you'll have success at that price point as rates are very expensive for these dates.

cabinboy Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 Hi,We have booked a backup hotel for $165 (plus tax) a night - but as it has only a double bed, I figured I would try my luck on Priceline. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.thanks,Marc
