vampyreslayer Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Preference (in order): Manhattan, any area south of Central Park (max. $150) 3 or 4 starBrooklyn Bridge Marriott (Max. $125) Jersey City (max. $125) 3 starAm I dreaming or are these realistic numbers for this stay? Last year I succeeded in getting a 4* in MTE (the Hyatt) during Thanksgiving for $140 plus taxes but I bid very very early (in July, I think).Two adults, one bed OK. Willing to split bids.Earlier today, Hotwire had a 3.5* room in MTE for $183 a night for my dates (it's $195 now).
thereuare Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 I do think this will be tough, but can give it a try one step at at time...At the 3* level in NYC you have two re-bid zones.

vampyreslayer Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 Originally, was trying for NYC, but price was way out there.

Anyhow,Started at $55 *4 (Downtown-Charlestown) Nov 21-24 -- rejectedadded rebid zones$60 -- rejected$65 -- rejected$70 -- rejectedChanged the date to Nov 22-25added rebid zones$60 -- rejected$65 -- rejected$72 -- rejectedChanged date to Nov 21-25$75 acceptedNice hotel and a big plus is that it's pet friendly. We save money on kennel fees as well. . . .Price on Hyatt's website is $175
