Priceline Hotel: Priceline NYOP Help for New york Hotel 10/24-10/28

[liron]

Hello,

I am looking for a 4* or higher hotel in New York, we have never been to the U.S. before and I am not sure which zones will be good for first time visit.

From looking at the map I think about these zones, I will be glad to hear your advice:

Times Square - Theatre District

Central Park South (is this mean midtown central?)

SoHo – Tribeca

West Village - Meatpacking – NYU (is this mean Washington Square Park?)

Rockefeller Center

We will be staying during 10/24-10/28. 

I am looking to spend $100-$150 USD. Is this reasonable price?  

Thank you again for your great assistance.

Liron.

Your dates above are during high-season for NYC and at the moment you'll likely need to be in the $200-$225 range for a well located 4 star hotel.

 

Are you willing/able to increase your budget, lower your star rating, or what are your current thoughts?

i think that first i will lower my star rating to 3* and lets see what can i get..

Even a 3* for $150 or less is far from a 'sure thing' (and at the moment i would even say perhaps less than 50/50)

 

In terms of the zones you mentioned above:

Times Square - Theatre District = OK (assuming something like the Edison hotel is acceptable, which is representative of a typical 3* hotel in this zone)

Central Park South = well located but also has the Hudson Hotel (at the 4* level, but your 3* bid could be upgraded) which has notoriously small rooms, even by NYC standards, so this would need to be an acceptable outcome

SoHo – Tribeca = if you're into shopping and cafes a good area for you to stay but everything around here is expensive (coffee, drinks, food, etc)

West Village - Meatpacking – NYU = good area (as is Chelsea) but just not a lot of hotels in this small geographic area so the zone is not won very often

Rockefeller Center = centrally located

 

... but why the zones above and not also including (since a win within your budget may be difficult) Grand Central, MSG, ESB, Lower East Side (may offer your best chances and best value), and/or Chelsea??
