coupe53 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hello, I would like to ask for your advise on bidding for a 4 star hotel in NYC during my stay from Nov 20 to the 23rd. We will be going to Brooklyn to watch basketball but would like to stay in the areas of TS, MTW, MTE, ESB, MSG and Chelsea as we would like to see the sights, so we would like easy access to the subway. I would like to keep the price around $250.00 all in if possible. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Assuming you budget of $250 all-in is per nite i don't see that being an issue over these dates, but two quick zone comments: 1) most 4* MTE properties are well located but a few can be a 10-15 minute walk to the subway, would this be acceptable 2) some Chelsea hotels can be up to a 10 minute walk to the subway, but this is still usually a very desirable area as it's "hot" right now with lots of cafes, restaurants, bars, etc. Please confirm if each of the above would be acceptable and should be included in a bidding strategy and we will advise accordingly.

coupe53 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes, it would be $250 per night. I think I'll drop the MTE but will keep Chelsea as we'll be hitting up those cafes, restaurants and bars. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 So to confirm you're looking at a 4* hotel in the TS, MTW, ESB, MSG, or Chelsea zones with a maximum budget of $250 all-in per nite. If this is correct you can bid as follows: When bidding 4* in NYC you have TWO re-bid zones. 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.
