Priceline Hotel: 2 weeks in NYC - Best strategy?

Hi there

 

New to the board but have been reading some threads to get tips - thought I would ask my own question.

 

I am travelling to New York on July 10th - July 23rd 2016. I am trying to get a good deal on a 3.5 star or higher hotel (I am travelling and will be working from the hotel often too so want something comfortable).

 

I'd like to stay under $200 a night or lower.

 

I'm pretty sure I was trying for the Even Hotel last night on Priceline express deals at $174 per night, but it would not allow me to complete the purchase. Priceline help said that the hotel availability and prices are not guaranteed on express deals and to try again. The same deal is at $200 today, perhaps I should wait a couple of days?

 

If you have any tips for me for negotiating a good rate, at a recommended hotel, that would be much appreciated!!

How about this 4* Grand Central - UN hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $167/nite with:

Business Center

Restaurant

Fitness Center

No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

==> my best guess for this one would be the Hotel Boutique At Grand Central or the Club Quarters Grand Central

 

Would these work for your needs this trip?

I don't need to be any particular area, I have no places to be.

 

I'm looking for the nicest area to situate myself.

 

I'm just a little concerned about the midtown area as I'm a bit of a light sleeper and thought I might have a safer bet lower downtown?

You could get a noisy hotel downtown... or you could get a quiet hotel in midtown.  You know just how light of a sleeper you better then we do, but street traffic in NYC is substantially less in the wee hours of the nite vs. during the day, so personally i wouldn't make that as part of the decision.

 

With the above noted, i don't think you will hear much vehicular traffic at most hotels, if you do hear noise it will more likely be sirens (police, ambulance, fire, etc)... and this could happen just about anywhere in the city. 

 

If most of your activities are in midtown keep in mind that downtown would be a bit less convenient, so ultimately it comes down to what is more important to you for this trip.

I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look.

 

If you use the above method and see internet in addition to the above amenities (Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business), my guess would be the Holiday Inn NYC Times Square.

 

Please keep us updated with what you decide and definitely let us know if you have additional questions.
