go_flyers2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 3* Roosevelt Hotel - $178 a night for two nights - after taxes $423.71I'm fairly happy seeing this is the peak season and I've been trying PRICELINE and HOTWIRE for a few weeks now with no luck.Used the zone rebid strategy to get this price.

SUPERJ Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 May I ask what time you bid and what day? I have a friend who's also trying to get a room and has had no luck. We were lucky but my friend so far has been unlucky. Maybe if we try the same time of day as you it might make a difference. (morning or afternoon, Monday - Sunday)?

go_flyers2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 I started my bidding around 11:45pm on Thursday night - ended up getting accepted around 12:30am - Friday morning. I also checked HOTWIRE at the time and saw that a few more hotels were available than the previous few weeks, which prompted me to start bidding. I usually bid around noon each day and was unsuccessful.Hope this helps
