Priceline Hotel: Need help - hotel NYC

[madhubs]

I'm looking for a hotel room to accommodate 3 adults in a room from 1/10 - 1/12 to NYC. My preferences are -
3-star hotel, near a subway to visit the tourist spots, in the city area. Price range upto $120 per night.

Please help.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

This is a slow period in the city, but the issue with NYC is that rooms are often smaller than most big city hotel rooms and, as a result, rooms with two beds are rarely available and often go for a premium. If you bid in NYC, you're likely going to get a room with 1 bed.

 

Hot.wire is a better option, as if you search for 3 adults, you will likely get some form of bedding for the entire party - either 2 beds or 1 bed + rollaway/1 bed + sofabed. 

 

When I search for 3 adults, I'm seeing a 3* in Midtown Central w/Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower for $124. This would likely be the Holiday Inn 57th.

 

A bit higher and there are 4* options in the $135-150 range. Would $135-150 be acceptable for a 4*?

 

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

Thanks for your response. In my opinion, spending more on seeing the city is worth the money than spending on hotel rooms. I'm fine with a 2.5 star hotel too if it is within $120 including tax per day.

I'll start looking at my options on Hotwire.

Here's what I see on Hotwire -

Any idea which hotel this would be?

You can't link to hotel offers as they won't work on any computer other than your own (and even then will expire shortly after posting). For help with the hotels above please provide the full details of each (star rating, zone, room rate per nite, amenities associated with the hotel, etc) and we will have a look at each.

My guess for the PRICELINE EXPRESS property would be the Roger Smith.

For the HOTWIRE offer, I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 3 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates:

Free Internet

Smoke Free

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... if this is what you're seeing, the Holiday Inn Wall Street would be my best guess for this one.
