Dbos1254 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 We will be visiting NewYork City Sept 6 thru Sept 9. We have a budget of 200 dollars per night now and plan to bid on Priceline.we are comfortable with the subway and are in good walking shape. What would be the best zones to bid? I know Times Square is popular and is probably the most expensive. We would like a 3.5 to 4 star accommodation. What would you suggest? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs a. 3.5* OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip? Also, is your $200/nite budget your maximum bid amount OR your all-in (after taxes/fees)? At current rates the former may be do-able... the latter substantially more difficult.

Dbos1254 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I guess the 200 would not be all in. We could be happy with 3.5 star . Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I would jump on this 4* Midtown East hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) that is offered for just $100/nite with: Pets Allowed Business Center Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess for this one would be the Doubletree By Hilton Metropolitan New York This was not offered yesterday when i first read (and began researching) your post trip... i wouldn't even bid in hopes of saving a few dollars, as i don't think this is going to last very long, imo.

If you go for the above let us know how it goes... or if for some reason you want to bid let us know and we'll go that route (but i don't recommend it since you 'know' (assuming our guess is correct) that this hotel is well located and near subway access) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Dbos1254 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I booked this . It looks like a great deal.It is the Doubletree Hilton Metropolitan. Thanks for the advice and research. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Congratulations on your success! While this may not the best or fanciest hotel in NYC, this is certainly a GREAT deal for this property this time of year... glad to see you were able to take advantage of it. You're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers. Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Enjoy your stay.
