I wouldn't use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE unless I was comfortable getting ANY hotel in whatever zones I bid. I've stayed at the Hudson before and your parents should be fine there.

That's not a very strategic way to bid. You may as well start bid for 3* because it would be extremely rare to get a 4* bid accepted for $75 (if ever in the spring).

As far out as you want as long as you place the bid by Jan. 2010.

The regular nondiscounted rate of the hotel.

It always applies when using Priceline. It states this in their FAQs.

Doesn't Priceline require on-site dining for a 3* hotel? You should dispute the rating and ask for a refund.

Has to be since the Hilton Times Square is in the Times Square zone.

Your Offer Price: $105.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $210.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $42.73 Total Charges: $252.73

Accepted on the first bid. I hate it when that happens. Total was $159.00 with taxes and fees.

Started at $120 MTW, new bid with MTE at $120, added MTW at $130, added UM-CPS $140, MTS $150, UES $160, UWS $170 and was accepted at the Hilton Towers NYC.

Tried $110 first and added Upper East Side and bid $120 and was accepted.

Sorry, it is actually a 3* and I started at $100. (I need to learn to proofread!)

Bid this last night...started at $110 and added Upper West side and was accepted at $110.

By the way, I found this site after getting it and hate I missed the $10.00 off code, but if you have a link I can use in the future to help out, I'd be glad to use it.

Sorry, the amenities are Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center.

I had been bidding on Priceline for the past few weeks and had bid up to $180 without luck. I saw this on Hotwire tonight and jumped on it (after trying up to $115 on Priceline). $112 per night, with taxes and fees it came to $395.95 I have the Beekman Towers booked through quikbook.com ($199) for June 21. I'm hoping hotwire or priceline will open some availability in the next couple of days.
