bariww Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Hello All!First of all, I love this board... I'm addicted! So here's my situation. My boyfriend and I are going to NYC for an extended weekend 3/27-3/31 and I'm desperate to get us into a fabulous 4* hotel for a rock bottom price. My max price is $225 and my zones in order of preference are UM/CPS, MTE. MTW, Times Square-Theater District. I'm worried that I'll get the Hyatt at Grand Central by going with MTE before MTW and I don't know why, but it doesn't appeal to me as much as other MTE hotels so I guess it's a chance I'm willing to take. Any help on a bidding strategy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!!
thereuare Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I don't have any problems with the Grand Hyatt... there are certainly other hotels i would prefer to not receive before that one. But since this is your stay... at this time did you want to include MTE in your bidding or not?

bariww Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 I do want to include MTE and I know the Hyatt is supposed to be nice (and would ultimately be fine if I won it for a rock bottom price), but it just seems SOOOO big.
thereuare Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Get to your room and it won't seem nearly as big anymore :)At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones available.
