monimal6 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hello,I would appreciate assistance in bidding on a 4* hotel for the above dates.Aread that im interested in are: MSG, TD, MTE, CPS, MTW.is it possible to get a room on these dates for approx 200$ (including taxes) ?Thanks for your help!(clicked both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links) Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 This is an expensive time of year in NYC and unfortunately at current rates $200 all-in (~$165 bid price) will not likely be enough for this stay... currently i think it would take a bid price of $200 (or even a little more) to be successful for these dates.Using MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find for a 4* hotel in one of these zones?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

JonathanK Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I didn't want to create my own thread since this one is almost spot-on for what I'm looking for. Is there a reason why it's an expensive time of year for NYC? I thought September was the slow time? Especially towards the end of that month. Thanks! Link to comment
monimal6 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 likewise, i also thought september would be much slower than august for instance, since school's summer break is over.i would appreciate a reasonable bidding strategy for the above dates, 4* hotel, 2 rooms, areas: TD, CPS, MSG, MDW, MDE Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I didn't want to create my own thread since this one is almost spot-on for what I'm looking for.Rates are date specific and can differ (at times substantially) from one date to the next, please do start a NEW TOPIC for your own stay and we will assist you there. Even if your dates are exactly the same as the OP's (not just within this range but the exact check-in and check-out dates) your budget, zones, desired star rating, etc. may be different so any bidding strategy suggested here may not apply to your own trip.Before posting for help with your NYC trip, please click each of these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links and follow-up your previous threads with whatever you ended up doing for each of these trips:Hotwire DisneylandPriceline Santa MonicaLas Vegas hotel from HotwireUsing your own topic for your own stay, as well as concluding any threads you have started, helps keep the board better organized and useful for everyone, as well as is a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your trip.i would appreciate a reasonable bidding strategy for the above dates, 4* hotel, 2 rooms, areas: TD, CPS, MSG, MDW, MDEWhat do you want to use as a maximum bid... the $165 bid amount previously stated, or given my previous comments, are you able/willing to increase it at this point in time?Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

monimal6 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 according to your advise, that 200 (including tax) will not go at these dates, i say i'll stretch it up to 250 (including tax), do u think theres a chance at that price? Link to comment
sofriscokid Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 My understanding is that the United Nations General Assembly takes place at this time, starts the 18th, and many people are in NYC for this. Hotels have no problem filling rooms. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 monimal6,If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.Your $250 all-in will get you closer, but not sure if it will still be enough, but you can try as follows:When bidding 4* in NYC you have TWO re-bid zones.
