RedmondFrank Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I was preparing to bid $72 for a 3 star in Rye, NY... 10-4 to 10-6and after telling me the median retail was $174 ... on the next screen it said...We Want You To Get Your Hotel RoomBased on past priceline customer requests for hotels in this area, your offer price of $72 has only a small chance of being accepted. You should, as a general guideline, expect to pay an average price of $58 per night for a 3-star hotel in the Westchester County, NY area if you called the hotel directly. Remember - we will only accept one request for the same star level, city area and dates in a 24 hour period. So if you need a specific zone or star level - be sure your first offer price is your best price! Median retail price for a 3 star hotel in the area selected: $58....so something was dividing the old retail by the number of stars... :) Link to comment
