matt19930 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Hi All! i just found this forum, and it looks like a great resource!I'd like to stay in the Latin Quarter, but I'm ok with most other areas as well, except for La Defence and CDG airport. I've noticed a lot if winning bids in this area in the $80-110 range. Hotwire shows a 4* in the Latin Q for $319. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your advice!

thereuare Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!I've noticed a lot if winning bids in this area in the $80-110 range.Rates are date specific so you can't assume that a hotel won for dates other than your own will be available, or at the same price, for your own stay. What is the best price you're able to find for a 4* hotel for your dates in any of the zones you've bid? (use our Priceline Hotel List to see hotels reported in each zone)What is your maximum bid for this stay?

matt19930 Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Posted December 2, 2007 The best prices I've been able to find for a 4* hotel for my dates is $319 in Latin Q, and a rate of $179 for Gar du Nord. My maximum bid would be $200.
thereuare Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 And which zones, by priceline name, are you willing to accept?We'll then suggest a strategy for you to follow (assuming you're willing to increase by more than $1 each bid).
