sherley Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Posted August 11, 2007 prefer Downtown - SoHo ,Midtown South, fine with Midtown East ,Midtown West,Upper Midtown - Central Park South ok with Upper East Side and Upper West Side just wonder is it possible to get a room for this budget?thanks
thereuare Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!We have seen a few 3* hotel wins near the high end of your range.I'm not sure if you're saying it's ok to bid all the zones above or what your zone preference are, but if you clarify we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Are you willing to spend more for a hotel in the Downtown zone vs. less for a hotel in, say for example, the MTW zone?

sherley Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Posted August 12, 2007 I dont really care about which zone but only stay in manhattan,as lower as possible, such like Downtown - SoHo ,Midtown South, Midtown East ,Midtown West,Upper Midtown - Central Park South i'd say less for a hotel in, not so much budget,thanks for your help :)
