Priceline Hotel: Need help! NYC 12/6- 12/8

[ericasan]

Hi There--

I am looking to stay near midtown (I need to be near 50th and Madison), but willing to take cabs. I am looking at 12/6- 12/8 which is so expensive during that time, but I am stuck with these dates. I am looking for a 4* and my MAX bid would be $400. I would love not to overbid, so am wondering what type of strategy you all think I should use.

So far I have tried:

4*MTW $275-- REJECTED

4*MTW $300-- REJECTED

Not sure what to try next.

Thanks so much for your advice!!
