Hi, I'm looking for hotels in nyc for 8 days
Check-In Date: Monday, May 15, 2017
Check-Out Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2017

My budget is $ 140.00 Per Night + Taxes
 

I'm interested in:

5 Star Luxury Hotel:
Downtown - Wall St
Empire State Building Area
Chelsea Area
SoHo - Tribeca
Upper East Side

or

4½ Star Deluxe-Plus Hotel
Madison Square Garden - Convention Area
Midtown West - Hell's Kitchen
Downtown - Wall St
Lower East Side - Chinatown
West Village - Meatpacking - NYU

or
4 Star
Downtown - Wall St
 

Do you think I have a chance to win with my bid? Nyc is very expensive on my date ...

I'm sorry for my English, I'm from Brazil, I'm not fluent in English.

 

Tks

Mateus

Welcome to Betterbidding.

 

Unfortunately, $140 isn't going to be realistic for these dates, as this is a busy time with nicer weather. You're probably looking at at least a bit over $200 for these dates and higher depending on what you're looking for - a 5* will likely take $300+. A 4* in Midtown will likely take $155-175 or higher.

Rates are date specific and i'm assuming when you saw the hotels you mention in the post above won they were for dates that were different than your own (and i'll further assuming that they may have been during Jan/Feb which is low season for NYC where as your dates are in mid-May which is high-season... or the wins above were for a solo Sunday nite (the slowest nite of the week for NYC hotels) where as you need an entire week stay)

 

For example for your dates the Gild Hall is sellling for $449/nite and while the Hotel Indigo Lower East Side is selling for less, it is still $346/nite, and you're not going to win these hotels for $140/nite when their retail prices are in the $300's and $400's.

 

Do you have any options that are within your current budget?  Are you able to increase your budget and/or lower your star rating?

You're comparing the 3 star Hotel Edison New York City to the 4* (and higher) hotels originally requested above.

 

I think you have to decide if what you really want is the cheapest priced hotel possible... or if there is some value in a higher rated/better reviewed property for a little bit more. 

 

For example, while a 2* hotel at $150 with mediocre reviews may be a cheap price and a decent deal... a 4* hotel at $175 with excellent reviews would almost certainly be a better value.:wink:


Regardless, it sounds like no matter what deal you find right now you would like to wait a week, so let us know once you're ready to move forward and we will see what is available at that point in time.

Please don't post to search result pages as the links will expire and this thread will become less valuable to future readers who will not be able to reference the description of the hotels that you have asked about.

 

I believe these are the offers you previously linked to above (confirm your dates on the landing page of the provided links):

 

3.5* Upper East Side for $191
Pets Allowed
Airport Shuttle
Free Internet
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> not certain but a guess would be The Marmara Manhattan (although i don't think you would ideally want to stay this far north... not the most convenient for the typical tourist)

 

3.5* Times Square - Theatre District for $170
Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> The Gallivant Times Square would be my guess here

When bidding on PRICELINE you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you bid... you won't necessarily receive the same hotel by bidding on PRICELINE that is currently offered on PRICELINE EXPRESS.

The Gallivant Times Square is a 3.5* hotel in the Theatre District so it is indeed possible that this is the hotel you will receive when bidding... on the otherhand there are plenty of other 3.5* hotels in this zone so it's also possible that you receive something else.

 

If you're looking for a percentage, as my previous statistics professor would say... it's either 0 or 1, you will receive the Gallivant Times Square or you won't; beyond that i can't put any percentage on it. 

 

If you want to try to target the Gallivant i would simply purchase it using PRICELINE EXPRESS, as bidding is typically only slightly cheaper, and with the board's current extra 5% off using PRICELINE EXPRESS, the differential is even less.

Hi, I'm checking an offer.
3.5-Star Express Deal Hotel
Times Square - Theater District Area
$ 130 / night total with fees: $ 1,232.96

Is this the Gallivant Times Square?

 

At the moment, I have a cancellation reservation at the Doubletree By Hilton New York Times Square West
Total fees: $ 1,742.37

Would it be a good exchange?

(please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the landing page after clicking the link below.)

 

3.5* Times Square - Theatre District for $130
Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>My guess would be the Gallivant. That property does get mixed reviews, but it is certainly a very good rate for this time period.

 

I'd rather suggest on HOTWIRE:

 

4* Theater District - Midtown West for $157.00
Free Internet
Boutique
Smoke Free
Fitness
Restaurant
Business
Hi-Speed Internet
Blind Accessible
Travel Accessible
Room Accessible
Wheelchair Accessible
Bathroom Accessible
Handicapped Parking
Roll-in Shower
==>  Possible match for the Yotel. With the $20 off coupon, $1621 total so about $120 off your reservation. The Yotel gets 4.5/5 on the tripadvisor.

I'm not seeing the 3.5* Times Square PRICELINE EXPRESS listing.

 

Are you seeing any other listings of interest that fit your desired budget on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE EXPRESS? Any interest in the possible Yotel?
