Priceline Hotel: NYC Hotel Bidding Tips

[Bidder91]

My girlfriend and I would be visiting NYC from 16th-20th June (5D4N). We are looking at hotel with 4* and above preferably however are open to 3.5* depending on price. 

 

Zone: Times Square, Midtown East, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Central Park South, Empire State Building and Chelsea.

 

Per night rate: 150 - 180 USD inclusive of everything.

 

Would like to hear your advice on the bidding strategy or any express deal with good value. 

 

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I would consider this property (confirm your dates on the landing page of the provided link):

 

4* Empire State Building Area for $162
Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> best guess here would be the Arlo Nomad which gets excellent reviews.  It is just over your budget on an all-in basis, but using the PRICELINE link and code in my signature gets it somewhat close

 

Let us know if you'd like to go for the above PRICELINE EXPRESS offer if try bidding for the other zones that you have listed and we will advise accordingly.  If you'd like to move forward by Name Your Own Price on PRICELINE, please confirm your maximum bid amount (before taxes/fees) and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

We have decided to extend our stay from 15th to 20th. 

 

Arlo Nomad certainly looks like a good deal but I would stay there only if I can secure a sky view room. It seems like I would need to top up for that.

 

How likely it is for me to secure a better deal via bidding. My maximum bid amount would be 150 after accounting for taxes/fee. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Well that does not seem likely given that your maximum bid is not even enough for a standard room, but if you intend to move forward by bidding on PRICELINE, it raises the question of what happens if you win this property by bidding on PRICELINE, since you would only want to stay there if you received a specific room type??
