Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTW) Royalton Hotel

[RobertoGP]

Started at $100 with increments of $5, got a counter offer to add U$22 when reached $120, rejected and bid $121,$122,$123,$124,$125,$126,$127 and finally $128 which was accepted.

Royalton Hotel in MTW.

I have been trying and bidding for this dates for like 3 months. Damn Valentines Day :)

I had a $105 reservation at Confort inn midtown West (convention center) but I think the $20 per night is worth it.

I used the forum PRICELINE link

Congratulations on your success!

Hope you're happy with the results and this property works well for your plans... they have a very nice lobby bar at this hotel, as they do at the nearby Algonquin which has a lot of litterary history.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

Great job with your posting, Roberto. I like the way you broke down your bidding process for all of us to see. It's a lot more helpful than just stating the winning bid and not mentioning if that was the first bid or how many redibs it took and at what price you started at and then the incriments you took with each rebid till you got your bid accepted. Again, great job and a big thanks from Greg in Texas!

I recently found this site after bidding directly through priceline and then imediately thereafter wondering why I didn't search and learn more about bidding strategies via the Internet, as I have bid several times in the past on Priceline and just recently booked a hotel through the opaque process on Hotwire when I really couldn't find a good price bidding on Priceline for a hotel in Dallas. I did, in fact, get my bid accepted on Priceline for the Feb. 24 - 27 stay in Dallas and will post my purchase later on the appropriate board on this site.

Thanks also, thereuare, for doing a fantastic job as well! I will definitely try and go through your site in the future when booking a hotel in the future. I have learned a lot from your site since joining it yesterday. I really enjoyed learning the rebidding strategy you have posted. That's a great strategy to know. I just picked what I thought was a very low price for the area in Dallas and the star rating i chose, 3 stars for a hotel in the Frisco, TX area (W. Plano) at $35 a night, but since I didn't start even lower, I don't know if I could have gotten even a better deal than that. I do see another couple of postings for the same hotel in your new bid results feature that would indicate that I did get a rock-bottom price, but I don't know since they didn't post the specifics, whether it was a one-shot bid like mine was or whether they started lower and went incrimentally higher until their $35 bid was accepted.

Again, I wish that posters would post their bid details more than just, essentially, the hotel name, price, and ammenties.
