Hi, I've been visiting this board for about a month now, and find it extremely useful in using Priceline. I have made several unsuccessful bids for an upcoming trip to New York from Oct 7-12. Of course, hotels are extremely expensive at this time (helped by the long weekend I'm assuming). I was hoping to find something for around $200/night. $250 maybe. Anything 3* and up would be adequate I think. We plan on experiencing the city and only using the hotel for sleep. We would prefer to stay in Manhattan, preferably in the Times Square district, but as long as we were close (10min or less) to a subway, I think we'd be fine. Just by browsing the net, we found "The Time" hotel for ~$266/night. I'm hoping to find something similar for a lower price. I would appreciate a strategy that I can follow when bidding on a hotel. Thanks for any help. Cheers.
