HI,i need help on a bidding strategy for a couple (on honeymoon) in New York. Looking for 3* or better in great location. Willing to spend up to $220.00 a night

Dates: Sept 17-22

Locations: TS, MTW, ESB or MSG

Looking for the best hotel for less than $220 a night and in a central location for honeymooners' first time in new york.

Thanks

Note that when bidding 3.5* and lower, MTE has some 'known' hotels can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway... is this acceptable?

Also, did you want to try for a 3.5* first up to your limit OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?

Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

no. I will leave mte off, for now. however, if the strategy fails, i will add mte as the couple comes from a big city and are familiar with having to walk long distances. i once won the barclay intercontinental and that was a nice option.

since they are on a honeymoon i will first try for a 3.5* up to the limit (the limit is $250 including taxes). Then if that does not work, then the least expensive 3* or above. A 3* in a great area would be good.
