gerge Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hello, I'm looking to book a hotel on priceline for 12/18 through 12/22. I'd like to stay at a 4* and i have a couple zones in mind. Chelsea, Lower east side and Brooklyn. I'm looking to spend 170 at the most but i'd like to spend as little as possible. Any tips booking for a first time bidder? Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! Have you been to NYC before? Can i inquire as to your needs for this trip... do you have plans/reason to stay in Brooklyn, as this would be a very different experience vs. staying directly in Manhattan.

gerge Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was planning on making the trip from brooklyn to manhattan each day. Just trying to enjoy a couple days in New york before christmas. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Depending upon where in the Brooklyn zone you ended up the trip to Midtown would be an hour each way... would this be acceptable? If you were looking to stay in Brooklyn to save money i think you could get a similar (or lesser) price for a 4* hotel by staying in the Downtown-Financial District, or for not much more, stay in a more centrally located in midtown. Your budget isn't likely going to be an issue for this stay as it's after the peak holiday season and in the middle of the low rates we usually see just before the Christmas holiday. For example, you can likely get a 4* Downtown for $100-$110/nite OR a 3.5* hotel in the $90-$100 area. If you want to be more centrally located in midtown a 3.5* in the MSG zone will run you $125-$135, a 4* in Central Park in the $135 area, a 4* Upper West Side around $140, and a few other midtown options in the $150-$160 area. Unfortunately at current rates Chelsea and/or Soho will likely run you $200+ for a 4* hotel, but i think the above are some excellent options (especially MSG given how close it is to Chelsea) although the other midtown options should be well located enough to easily get you wherever you'd like to go, or the Downtown options are slightly less convenient (but still do-able) and a very good value given the substantially lower rate. Based upon the above let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.
