Hello! I am looking for a hotel from Mar 23-27 in Midtown West or Times Square. Empire State, Madison Square Garden or Midtown East would also work. Will be there for a conference and am sharing a room. We don't mind sharing a bed but would prefer not to if possible. We don't care that much about the star level of the hotel but we realize that the lower we go, the smaller the room/bed will be. Our maximum budget is $220 per night including tax. I plan to purchase the room using the PRICELINE link from this board, and would appreciate any help you can offer.
Looked up PL hotels on this board and learned that Westin Princeville was nicest hotel listed in Princeville area. I went to the hotel website and calculated price for our dates, taking into consideration the 40% discount on alternate nights they are offering, which averaged out to $256/night incl tax. I then took 40% off that price and decided to use that as my starting bid. I was surprised that the bid was accepted straightaway, but I'm happy that I didn't have to bid multiple times, and am pleased with that price. The total including tax is $177/night. My advice would be to start with an even lower offer! Thanks to everyone on this board - I use the advice I find here whenever we travel and have found great deals!
I used the PRICELINE link from this forum and started off bidding NMA for $86, then increased by $5 increments, adding M Park and other zones based on the re-bid instructions. I had success on my 6th bid, for $111, at Swissotel.
