Priceline Hotel: 3* hotel in Times Square (Priceline)

[Jul]

Hi,

I'm looking to book a 3* hotel in Times Square for just one night (Sept 1st). I see there's a PRICELINE EXPRESS Priceline deal for $135 (total cost of $177 after taxes/fees). It seems to me that it's probably Comfort Inn Times Square South. Or also possibly Holiday Inn Express NYC Times Square. Right?

But I'm wondering if I can save some money by bidding in a 3* instead. How much do you think would be a realistic amount to bid on a 3* in Times Square and which hotels am I most likely to get that way? These same two hotels maybe?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

For the future please also include in your post the amenities that PRICELINE EXPRESS associates with the property as this will be used to help research the offer, as well as confirm we're looking at the same property.

 

I'm currently seeing this 3* Times Square hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) with:

Free Internet

Free Breakfast

No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

==> if this is what you're seeing, best guess for this one would be the Comfort Inn Times Square South Area

 

If you decide to bid for this trip you have to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you choose... there is no way to target (or avoid) a specific hotel when bidding.  It may or may not be the same hotel that is currently offered thru PRICELINE EXPRESS.

 

So the question is how well does the hotel guessed above work for your plans this trip vs. how much would you need to save from the $135/nite rate to make receiving a different hotel worthwhile?

If you take the offer above let us know how it goes...if you'd like to pursue bidding on PRICELINE let us know your maximum bid and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow (also, is this the only zone that is acceptable for this stay??  please include any other zones that would be acceptable even if you think it would be unreasonable to win a 3* or better hotel within your maximum bid price)
