Priceline Hotel: 3* NYC (UM-CPS) Hudson Hotel

[Dmples]

My wife are travelling to New York on the above dates.

I've read recent posts and have failed to win any bids thus far.

Budget: 180. I have bid to as high as 160 thus far with various combinations of rebids as suggested by THEREUARE. All have failed.

Star Rating: 3 Star and above. I have not bid for 2* yet.

Areas: MTE, MTW, UM-CPS

Dates: 12/27/07 - 1/4/07 (I have not tried breaking these dates yet, but will try on next go around)

Other Options tried: Quickbook - East Gate Tower (not available).

Shall I keep trying or look at other zones (Brooklyn, etc), or New Jersey? What is the closest accessible point in New Jersey, via subway?

Update:

Part of my trip is resolved!

I broke up my date and went for bidding: 1/1-1/4. I figured after new years dates would be the easy part seeing an earlier win for 115 at the Wellington.

Got 140 accepted at Hudson Hotel (3* UM-CPS). Tried this same rate at MTE in an earlier attempt (same dates) but got rejected, so I was surprised it went through. Still, I think I got a bit jumpy and wish now for that 115 rate. But hotels were booking fast from what I heard.

Checked Hudson review at Better Bidding and Trip Advisor, so I'm expecting great locations but postage stamp sized rooms, sigh. :)

Any advice for 12/27-12/31? This will be the real challenge as I'm expecting many people wanting the New York New Years experience?
