I GOT IT! Not exactly what I had wanted (4* DT) but still, it was a fun process. Here's what I did (thru savingsbarn.com, of course :-): I tried 1st for the %*: Selected 5* MTE... Bid $120, rejected so I added re-bid zone...(MTW) Bid $130, rejected added re-bid zone...(MTS) Bid $140, rejected added re-bid zone...(UES) Bid $145, rejected added re-bid zone...(UWS) Bid $150, = REJECTED. Then tried for 4* Downtown... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1... Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. Select 4* Downtown and re-bid zone2... Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1... Bid $140, REJECTED Then I tried for 4* MTW and bid $110, which was rejected Added DT and bid $120 and I got the HILTON NEW YORK on 6th Avenue. It was a big, touristy hotel but I must say I was impressed. We asked for a king bed, on a high floor with a park view and got all 3! I guess they weren't very busy. The rooms were very nice, and quite large by NYC standards. I would definitely suggest this hotel to others. Thanks for your help! :)
