Was hoping to get a hotel for $180.00, but soon realized for the amount of nights we needed and the 4* ranking we wanted was not going to be possible in NYC during October. We tried to extend the stay until the 17th (which is what we needed), but it was not available. I did phone the hotel out of curiosity to see how much our stay would have cost if I had booked directly through them and the total would have been over $4000.00 and with Priceline our stay is only costing $1866.33, so I am very pleased with the savings we were able to get. Now I will try and book the remaining nights at another hotel. The reviews for this property sound awesome and the images look fantastic. I really hope that it lives up to the hype we are seeing and reading.

I sort of lost track. I do know that I have tried 4* for $175.00 in Midtown east, Central Park South, Chelsea Area, SOHO, Upper east and west side. Is it possible that staying for 9 nights will make it hard to find a deal? Since it is a longer stay should I divide it into two properties? Thanks for your help.

Never mind, figured it out..LOL!

I have been trying to bid on Priceline for a Hotel in NYC from Oct.8th - 17th today and have come up with nothing, when I see others posting winning bids for the same amount and area I have put my bids in for. Is there a better time of day to bid? Also, is it more difficult to find a great deal for longer stay like ours, should I break it up into two different properties? Feeling a little discouraged. We will be in NYC from Oct 8th - 17th and would like to pay $160 - $200 per night. Preferably in a 4* hotel. I am looking in these zones: Midtown east and west, Central Park South, Chelsea area, Soho, Theatre district. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the info! :)

I am new to priceline and this site. My friends booked a hotel to NYC once through Expedia and had difficulty checking in. The hotel said that they had overbooked and didn't have a room for them and they don't guarantee Expedia bookings. After a lot of arguing they finally gave my friend's a room. I was just wondering for those who have used Pricceline before, have you ever had any issues checking in to the hotel you booked and is the room and price guaranteed? Thanks so much!

I am looking for a hotel in NYC from Oct 9th - 17th, 2012 and was wondering what zone(s) you used to win the Waldorf-Astoria? Thanks!
