Hotwire Hotel: I missed out on my preferred hotel, do I wait it out or just go for anything right now?

[AlmondExtract]

Hello all,

 

 

Firstly, I love this site as a resource as it has really helped me out over the years!

 

 

I am looking for an overnight stay in NYC from 5/5-5/6 and I had found (what i narrowed down to be) the Roxy in SOHO in my sights for the stay at a great rate. With the current hotwire promo, it was coming out to 199 for the night.  I saw that on the train, but planned to wait until I got home to pull the trigger. Fast forward to getting home and the price has jumped! I know that is typical, but I didn't know if anyone could recommend whether or not to wait for that hotel to come down or just to find something else. I was really set on that hotel or something of that ilk ( a hip boutique)  Any help is appreciated!

Welcome to Betterbidding! 

Thanks for your compliments!  Glad the site has been of help over the years - if you could post some of the wins you've had over the years it would be greatly appreciated, as the information helps others.

 

How much has the price jumped? What would be your desired budget per night? There is no way to know if rates will come down closer to the stay, although as demand has ramped up in the years post-2008, prices have often been seen trending higher and there's been less "last minute" deals.

It's jumped all the way to 320 per night! That's almost double what it was when I should have booked it. I'm going to keep looking for a boutique hotel for that night. Kicking myself is too kind right now!

How about this PRICELINE EXPRESS offer:

==> best guess would be the Arlo Soho... would this work for your needs?
