ohyacomeon Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hi, So glad to find this site! Please help me with the bidding. I am looking for a hotel in Lower east side or Soho tribeca for 2 person stay on 16-18Mar and Time square district hotel for 20-24Mar. No specific amenities required. No higher than 160 per nite. Is it possible to find a 4* or better? Thank you very very much. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Welcome to BetterBidding.. we're glad you found us too! We will use separate threads for each leg of your trip. We will use this one for the first part, please start a new topic for the second half. (this allows the topic title of each to be used to reflect what was ultimately done for each trip, as well as enable each to have it's own link in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins and PRICELINE maps) I think that $160 may be possible for the first leg of your trip, although my guess is that it will take slightly more to be successful in one of these two zones. If you want to give it a try you can bid as follows: 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. Select 4* LES... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $133, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* Soho... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $133, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* LES and Soho... Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...

ohyacomeon Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 HI it seems does not work however:( Do you have any other advises? Thank you very much for your help. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 For 3/16-18, on HOTWIRE I'm seeing a 4* in Times Square North for $135 (you may see a slightly different price) w/Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Pet Friendly. This is a possible match for the Sheraton Times Square. Would this possibility be of interest? Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions.

thereuare Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Are you willing to accept a different zone for this leg of your trip? If you can only stay in the LES or Soho zones how about this 3.5 star Lower East Side - Chinatown (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $143/nite with: Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Business Center, Fitness Center ==> my guess for this one would be the Comfort Inn Near Financial District If you're able to stretch your budget a bit i'm also seeing what looks to be the Hotel Indigo Lower East Side New York which gets excellent reviews, but it priced over your budget at $207/nite.

ohyacomeon Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thank you for your kind help. Down town area - wall street for 16-18MAR would also be cool if there is a 4* hotel available under 140. It shows that it is the best deal district in this duration. Is there any tips I can reduce costs? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 At current prices i'm doubtful you would be successful for a 4* hotel in the Downtown zone at $140 or less. If you want to give it a try you can use your TEN re-bid zones and try as follows, using this PRICELINE link to begin your bidding: Select 4* LES, Soho, Downtown... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $128, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $133, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $140 If the above if rejected, i think your best options to stay within budget are (confirm your dates on the landing page): 3.5 star Lower East Side - Chinatown for $143/nite with: Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Business Center, Fitness Center ==> my guess for this one would be the Comfort Inn Near Financial District 4 star Times Square hotel for $141/nite with: Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Business Center, Fitness Center ==> best guess here would be the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel (this is located near many subway stations which could easily get you to the Lower East Side or Downtown/Wall Street area) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.
