Why do you pick those two zones?

Eiffel Tower - Grenelle - Montparnasse has some hotels that are somewhat central, but some that are very far out.

Opera Quarter East - Les Halles is pretty central.

Many people have succeeded with St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse, and that seems to be the zone that generally has the lowest price 4* hotels. Did you want to exclude that zone?

I think your hoped for price is not realistic, but you can try. I'd suggest booking a cancellable backup, though.

I thought they were the best locations, easy access to tourist attractions and such.

Where do you suggest?

What should i start the bidding at?

Thanks

Let us know your zone selections after reading WillTravel's post above and if you want to increase your maximum bid at all... we'll then suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Eiffel Tower - Grenelle - Montparnasse

Opera Quarter East - Les Halles

St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse

Those are the preferred zones,

Ive searched but cant find any winning bids that have worked lately.

Thanks

And are you stlll looking for a minimum 4* rated hotel and a maximum bid of $100?

With your stay just about a week away, do you have a back-up reservation anyplace? If so, where and how much?

[Heya]

No backup,

If i have to find something that day i will.

I'd highly recommend you find out your best current deal.

As an example, you mind find your best deal to be $200, which leaves a LOT of margin between $100 (your current maximum bid) and $200 (what you may end up paying if you wait until the day of). If the best deal you can find is $200/nite, wouldn't it make sense to raise your maximum bid in attempt to get something at a better rate then what you'll likely be paying if you wait and just 'wing it' the day of your arrival?
