Priceline Hotel: 4* Bidding - no luck getting cheapo room

[chasman]

Trying to get a 4* for cheap in NYC-

Going to NYC with another couple 14-18 Oct. 2 rooms, 4 nights.

Would love to get the Westin in MTW.

Re-bid up to $115 to try and get the Westin - no luck.

Bid back down at $99 including MTE and UM/CPW - no luck.

Will try again in 72 hours, I guess.

Advice, suggestions welcomed.

I realize I will have to jack up my price as my trip draws closer, but I saw the $100 Westin price on this BB and got excitied. It's such a function of days of the month.

Based upon current rates it will take a substantially higher bid.

The $100 win you refer to was for a solo Saturday nite, and with NYC being less expensive on weekends probably not a realistic comparison for a multi-nite stay.

If you are going to try to lowball it i would definately make a back-up reservation.

I will make a back up reservation.

I wonder if I should try to split up my days.

Hmmm.

Will try again in 72 hours and let you know.

Thanks.
