murf1979 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 hi all in priceline love this siteany suggestions for tips for bidding for4* times square sept 18-23 have made bids up to 135 do i need to raise this considerably to succeed or should i opt for for a different area thanks in advancemurf1979 :)
rayrios16 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 I think you should raise it to above $150 or change the hotel category to a 3.5 star, which is still good in NYC.Try many areas in the bid to ample your options.Good luck. Please share the outcome with all of us.
AaronJB Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)Which PRICELINE zones would you be interested in staying in, and what is your budget (before tax)?Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.
murf1979 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 thanks for replies everybody was hoping to get a 4* maybe westin for max 160 but have also widened my search to 3 1/2 stars what other areas would suit my needs was thinking MTE? thanks again. will post my successful bids any benefits in splitting my stay and searching two separate bids
thereuare Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 For your complete stay i don't think $160 is going to be enough for a 4* and may not be enough for a 3.5* either. However, i do see some benefit in SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID... the last 2 nites of your stay begin to get more expensive than the previous 3 nites, so as you add each of those nites i believe your chances of sucess go down.Are you more interested in not splitting your stay and seeking a lower rated hotel OR splitting your stay and getting a higher rated hotel for at least part of your stay?Let us know and we'll advise regarding suggested zones and bidding strategy.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

AaronJB Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Did you get a room at the Roosevelt for all your nights or did you split your stay (if so, which nights did you win the Roosevelt for?) Thanks.
