vivalavida Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Maximum desired bid $225/night Minimum 4* hotel rating Areas considered in order of desirability Midtown WestChelseaTimes SquareCentral Park South (only behind TS due to Hudson Hotel reported room size) Would also consider Priceline Express if hotel location can be realistically estimated. Will be taking the subway all over Manhattan, so proximity to subway is close second to trying to stay within budget. Link to comment

Bid $210, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $213, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $215 If the above is rejected, PRICELINE EXPRESS has this 4* CPS hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $219/nite which i'm guessing is the Hudson hotel. I'll also point out that there is a 4* in the ESB zone for $217/nite which is for a Double Bed room (and amenities of Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Free Internet, Business Center, Fitness Center)... but i don't have any insight into this one (but it does a show a positive 8.0+ user review rating). Any questions feel free to ask. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

vivalavida Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Successful bid at $213/night using the strategy and PRICELINE links as suggested. Of note, I was countered at the $185 bidding level for Chel/CPS with $242/night, which I rejected. Was then again countered at Chel/TS @ $193/night for $254/night. Thanks for the assistance, and I'm looking forward to my NYC trip. ETA: Hudson Hotel in CPS was the hotel chosen with the successful bid. Link to comment
