Priceline Hotel: Need Help with Multiple room, multiple stay strategy

[laxq]

Hi All,

I need your help! I am planning an impromptu gathering in New York. It may be too complicated and risky for a priceline bid, but we will see. I need 6 rooms for the following dates:

1 room: 4/23-4/30

1 room: 4/24-4/28

2 rooms:4/25-4/28

2 rooms: 4/26-4/28

Our maximum bid is $120. We would like to stay at a 4* in MTE, SOHO, CPS, and possibly MTW (although I don't want the empire hotel.) We would consider certain 3.5* properties, although would want at least a hunch of what they were before bidding.

I have followed the advice of this board and bid and rebid for MTE, SOHO, and CPW all the way up to 120 with no takers, although I wasn't very disciplined about it and didn't write down the dates that I was rejected on.

Any thoughts you might have about how to craft a strategy so that we all have a good chance of ending up at the same hotel, or at least 4* hotels would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Please post in the thread for your previous Los Angeles stay what you ended up doing for that stay (in order to close out that thread.) Thank you.
