I bid $75 and Priceline immediately came back with an offer of $105 which I took. The location is very good for those who want to be near Rockefeller Center/Radio City. The service was very good. The room was not ready early -- they were booked and they just made the 3 pm deadline for checking in. They have a mezzanine concierge lobby where you can wait, watch TV, have coffee -- I therefore gather that it's customary to wait for your room to be ready. The room I was in was not clean, although the bed sheets were clean and comfortable. Floor and bathroom were not clean. Make sure to wear slippers. I got a good night's sleep. For a quick trip, it's great; not sure I would recommend for a family. The price of course was fantastic for NYC.

Wrap up and (real) thread-closer. :) Stay was great. Can't say enough nice things about the staff there. Hotel has very popular nightclub, so consider possibility that depending on your room it won't be the quietest choice. Thanks again to all the Better Bidders and of course, the admins as well!

Thanks again! I will report back with a review!

I bid using on PL using the various tips I located on this board. My wife and I both submitted multiple bids using the zones/stars approach, and went as high as $160 without getting a nibble. At one point PL countered with $190 but we declined. Hotwire's minimum for a 4* was around $240. I took Gallus50's advice. LMT came through with $169 for the Clift. Run-of-the-House had great tips on revealing LMT properties. The downside with LMT is waiting for info for an On-Request, but it actually came within three hours. Thanks for all of your help, Betterbidding.com!

Thanks for the info; I will check. Is the fact that we're a family of four make it unlikely that we'll find a proper room via PL?

Rejected in multiple areas for $130/night. Nabbed Palace without PL or HW for $230/night. Tempted to hold onto that. Any chance I can do much better with PL? Thanks!
