TIM V Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Making a trip to NYC for a Yankees ball game(fathers day present) and staying Friday August 8 and Saturday August 9th. We only want to stay in Times Square for those two nights, as we both have never stayed there before. I would say our budget would be $500 for 2 nights but preferably lower. Would prefer to stay in a 4star or above. Any help on a bidding strategy would be appreciated. There is a 4 star express deal for times square-theatre district for $205 per night and i guess i could use the SUMMER14 coupon. Is that possibly the Westin? thanks in advance Link to comment

thereuare Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The 4* TS property as $205 is now gone and a 'new' (not sure if same hotel or not) 4* hotel is offered in the zone at $227/nite with: Free Internet in room Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center (these amenities are common in NYC but this is possibly the Hotel Mela) However, HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel offered in this zone at $207/nite with: Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ... my best guess for this one would be the Westin New York at Times Square. If you only want to bid the Times Square zone, you have ONE re-bid zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. Select 4* Times Square... Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $200 If the above is rejected you can take the HOTWIRE offer at $207/nite.

TIM V Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 i ended up booking PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $227 per night and got Hotel Mela using the promo code 5% for $549 for 2 nights. Not bad. Would rather have stayed elsewhere but we will check out this hotel. Seems like it gets decent reviews Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Congratulations on your success! While perhaps not your first choice of hotel in the zone, glad to see this was the hotel expected and at this price you can make this work for your plans this trip. Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this amenity set to the Priceline Hotel List. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
