thereuare Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Best guess/comments for each: 1) East Side - East Village 4* ==> both the Wyndham Garden Chinatown or Holiday Inn NYC - Lower East Side have been seen with this amenity set, so either would be possible, although i'd slightly favor the Holiday Inn as the more likely of the two 2) Times Square South 3,5* ==>The Gallivant Times Square would be my best guess here 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.

catitamatias Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I see that the prices are increasing on Hotwire, so I would like your help to bid a hotel on Priceline "Name your own price". Do you think it is possible to get a hotel from Oct 20 to Oct 24 (04 nights) for $800 with all taxes included? Dates: Oct 20 - Oct 24 Star: 4* or 3,5* Areas I would stay: 1°) Times Square - Theatre District 2°) Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park 3°) Grand Central Terminal - UN 4°) Madison Square Garden - Convention Area 5°) Midtown East 6°) Empire State Building Area 7°) Midtown West - Hell's Kitchen Thank you!

thereuare Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 We will provide a strategy for whatever you'd like, but i think it will more likely take closer to $190-$200 bid price to be successful in one of the zones above. If you'd like help with a bidding strategy let us know your maximum bid price (before taxes/fees) and if you're willing to pay more for a 4* vs.a 3.5* or if your goal is the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip.

catitamatias Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 The problem is that I already have a reservation (free cancelation) in Long Island City for those dates that I will spend $850 (with taxes). The location of this hotel is good, however I still want to stay in Manhattan (if I have luck!), but I don't want to spend too much in a hotel... my buget is low. So let's say the maximum bid I can give is $180 p/ night. I know it's difficult, but I still want to try. And if I am not able to get it, I still have my 2° option in Long Island City.

thereuare Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 When bidding 3.5* in NYC you have FIVE re-bid zones. 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 3.5* TS, Rock Center, Grand Central, MSG, MTE, ESB Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $178, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $180 If the above is rejected i will point out that you're not only trying to go from LIC to Manhattan, but also trying to go from a 2* hotel to a 3.5* (or higher) hotel. If the above fails, i would also suggest the following (confirm your dates on the landing pages): 4* Downtown - Wall Street for $188 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess for this one would be the Club Quarters World Trade Center or the World Center Hotel (which are basically the same hotel)... at least this one has you inside of Manhattan at at a higher star rating than your 2* back-up 3* Empire State Building Area for $188 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> the Hotel Stanford NYC Koreatown would be my best guess here. Not luxurious, but a good location near multiple subway lines, and again, in Manhattan and a higher star rating than your Long Island City back-up plan If you for some reason decide you want to stay in LIC (again, confirm your dates on the landing pages): 3* Long Island City for $151 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Holiday Inn LIC Manhattan View would be my guess for this one, which is higher rated and cheaper than your current back-up plan 4* Long Island City for $182 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> a 4* hotel for about what you're currently paying for a 2* property... my guess here would be The Paper Factory Hotel 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.

catitamatias Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi, I tried the bids, but I was not happy with it. So, today I found this deal at HOTWIRE, can you help me to ID? Madison Square Garden 4* $188 FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower I can see either that this hotel charges a resort fee.

AaronJB Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 My guess for the 4* MSG would be the Wyndham New Yorker. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

catitamatias Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I forgot to reply, but I gave up staying in Manhattan and booked a hotel in Queens. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thank you for closing the thread. Sharing what you did book (even if not PRICELINE/HOTWIRE) is greatly appreciated as it may give others ideas who are researching. Was the hotel you booked in Queen a PRICELINE / HOTWIRE purchase or one where you knew the hotel name ahead of time? Hope you enjoyed your stay.
