Priceline Hotel: Manhattan for December 05-07

[timmtimm]

Hello, 

 

I'm planning a girls weekend for my friend's 25th birthday in Manhattan for December 05-07.

 

I'm looking at staying in Chelsea, Financial District and SoHo-Tribeca. 

 

Is bidding between $185-$200 USD per night reasonable on Priceline?

 

We're from Canada so we're not really sure what hotel prices are normal.

 

Thank you!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Seasonally this is one of the more expensive weekends of the year in NYC... what star rating is it that you're looking for?

We were thinking of a 3.5 star or 4 star and thank you, will do!

$200 is worth trying, but may fall a bit short, especially at the 4* level. I do see a 4.5* on Hot.wire in the Financial District w/Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Spa, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Wheelchair Accessible, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly for $240. That would be a possible match for the Andaz Wall St. Would that be of any interest?

 

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

If you want to try bidding for the three zones mentioned, do you want to first try for a 4* up to your limit ... or try for the least expensive 3.5* or better? (also, do you want to increase your limit given the low probability of a 4* being accepted at $200 or less??)

... or take the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer mentioned above?

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we will advise accordingly.
