Welcome to the site. :)

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and congrats on your success.

Looks like a very nice rate for this property, considering how expensive/busy NYC is during this time period.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

For future bidding, note that you don't want to add a 'live' zone (ie- MTE) at the end of your bidding, since it could result in an overbid. Given the bidding strategy that you used, you never gave yourself a chance to get a 3* hotel for less than $269/nite since you added that to the end of your bidding. As well, when you lowered your star rating from 4* to 3* you also raised your bid by $50, where it's usually recommended to Lower Your Bid Price if you Lower Your Star Rating.

Feel free to ask any questions regarding the points above and/or ask for help before bidding for your next hotel trip.
