Hi,

I need to have one night in Boston.

Start from 3.5* from 60 62 64 66 68 70 but get nothing.

try 3* from 58 60 62 64 66 and get

Courtyard By Marriott Boston Downtown/Tremont

Copley Square - Theatre District

275 Tremont Street

Boston, Massachusetts 02116

617-426-1400

I check the history, maybe 65 could be accepted also

Thanks for linking and information but this place only have 56% recommend in tripadvisor :)

Hi,

Some bidding history might help some people although they are failed

I try to bid for 3* for 135 in NYC but get nothing and 127 for 4* in Jersey city and still nothing.

So I use Aaron's information to directly buy the hotel with Preferred View which i could see the skyline.

159 for deluxe king.

Now I am done for all my NYC trip

Thanks for your information Aaron.

I am thinking to rebid for another days to see what happen.

BTW, does anyone know if I could choose the view to see Manhattan view for this Westin hotel

chechein

My recent workaround

bid until 127 for 3* in all Manhattan area but fail

try jersey to bid until 127 for 4* but fail again.

I check the priceline directly and as well as the hotel website. The hotel for 139 4* is Westin Jersey City Newport

The directly buying price including tax is 158.35

But if I bid for 127, the price including tax and fee is 155.37.

So do I need to go buying directly without bidding? (It looks like if I bid for 130, it will be more expensive than offical price. Then it doesnt make sense) Or wait another day to bid until 127 to try

Hi,

I check 12/8-12/10

2* has fitness center, resturant, business center.

So I check the list in the forum it might be

2* Days Hotel Broadway

Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness, Business

Maybe you could try HOTWIRE, if you like it

chechein

Hi,

Hotwire has 162 for 2* in Central Park area Hotel which meet your budget except for the star

Want to try that?

chechein

I found in HOTWIRE

there is 4* 139 which is The Westin Jersey City, newport

It also looks very attractive

Right now options are (HOTWIRE price)

2.5* (guess holiday inn in chelsea) 129

4* (The Westin Jersey City, newport) 139

3* MTE 169

Need to think about it

chechein

Hi,

I check HOTWIRE for you.

I saw 3* 239 in Chelsea - Madison Square Garden area Hotel

3* 249 in Midtown Central area Hotel

If you want to try PRICELINE around 220-230 for Madison, Chelsea, CPS. It should be something

chechein

Thanks a lot thereuare

No wonder it happens

That makes sense. It looks like I need to change the star or incresae the price to get it because the next 3* or 3.5* in hotwire is 169

Let me think about it

chechein

Hi,

I just check again,

Their amenities are high speed internet, bussiness center, fitness center, complimentary breakfast. That's all

Thanks,

chechein

As you guys know, 12/27-12/28 is left for me to start another bid

I saw hotwire has 129 3* in Chelsea - Madison Square

But I try 3* until 124 without anything.

100

105

110

115

120

124

It's very strange!!

I will try another run tomorrow to see if I can get it

chechein

I know it might be a little stupid to divid 12/26-12/28 into two seperate nights.

The price for 12/27-12/28 is higher than 12/26-12/27 if you check hotwire or Expedia

But it's a good steal for 12/26-12/27

I check hotwire there is 143 4* in MTC

So I start to try the steal from 110 115 120 125 and I get Renaissance Hotel 57 in CPS

chechein

Actually I want to have 12/24-12/28 but 12/26-12/28 have higher price

So I divide my trip in order to save the money

Check the HOTWIRE has 119 in MTE. Guess it should be Roosevelt according to the history.

100

105

109

final run 109 and get it

BTW, PRICELINE link was used

chechein

Congratulations!!!!

Usually, MTW is expensive than MTE because of great location.

Especially, your hotel has 85% people recommend in tripadvisor.

So I think it's a great deal. You should be happy for that!!!!

For my hotel W, it is just 55% :) since somebody say the room is a little small.

So enjoy your hotel!!!

How about following?

170 CPS

175 MTE

180 MTW

185 TS

190 CPS+MTE

195 CPS+MTE+MTW

200 CPS+MTE+MTW+TS

thereuare always has good strategy, maybe you can also wait his strategy

If i were you, i will try 170-200 first, if i fail, then move 180-210, and 190-220 for next run.

I think you can try 4* for one week to see if you really can get something because your budget is 250 per night

As I metion hotwire has following prices.

MTC 3* 225

MTE 4* 237

So I will stop if i fail in the run 190-220 for 4* then move to try 3.5*

Just be patient, sometimes it is not related to price. It's good luck. (for example, i try around one and half week to get it)

Hi

I just succeed the bidding yesterday, bidding for 12/30-1/1 (195 per night 4* in MTE) Please refer to my experience

I saw hotwire has some option

Central park area 4* 199

MTC 3* 225

MTE 4* 237

TS 3* 239

Central park 3.5* 241

MTC 3.5* 244

MTC 4* 259

So I think 250 should have something.( I don

Hi,

I am here again to share. Today I succeed by increasing the price. But it is also a long story for me about trying bidding today. (including the wrong date bidding and calling customer of priceline).

Anyway, let

Originally,I am looking for less than 400 for two nights. But right know the price is up, and I am not sure if the price will go down. Especailly 12/31 is hard, so I dont mind which star i could get. The area perference is in Manhattan area except for SOHO and central park.

Thanks a lot

I try to get the hotel in Manhattan but no luck for more than one week. I found the price also has a big because previously I can see less than 200 for New Year Eve in HOTWIRE. But I lost the chance to book it, and right know I have no idea the price become expensive than I expected. I am not sure if I need to wait for a while to hope the price drop or increase my bidding to get the deals.(I probably would split my day to 12/30 night and 12/31 night since I found the prices are not the same)

If anyone has any suggestion, I will really appreciate.

Thanks a lot

It seems like the 12/30 is more than 130 and 12/31 is more than 150 for bidding. So I am still trying

chechein

My future wife and I plan to stay in NYC for New Year. But it seems like the hotel is so expensive.

After doing some studying, today I success and this is my first time to use priceline.

Here are my ways to success

1) check history price in the forum

2) check hotwire price to know the bottomline so I see hotwire have 125 for the day 12/28-12/30 in MTE

3) I divide my trip into separate parts in order to get good deal (for example, 12/30-12/31 is expenesive)

4) try 12/28 to 12/31 but fail. I stop bidding until the price 125 because I want to try if I can get the fish on for 12/30-12/31

5) try 12/28-12/30 from 100 (Time square) 105(Time square+MTE) 110 (Time square+MTE+MTW)

Then I get it

3.5* Roosevelt Hotel in MTE $110

Hope it will help other people who want to try.

Regards,

chechein
