Thanks thereuare! Hubby is travelling solo on this trip :) but I'll pass on the breakfast tip. We've stayed in the Barclay before and I'm now even more disappointed at not being able to travel, it's a great hotel. And the rate is less than we paid in January last year ($189) so we're very happy.

Tried Priceline again this morning (via SavingsBarn) and got the Intercontinental for $150 per night. RESULT!!

It looks from Hotwire like the Grand Hyatt hasn't released its rooms for May yet. We have a cancellable reservation with another hotel in the hope we can get the Hyatt for under $200 later this month for first week in May.

Tonight (access as usual) MTE $187 MTE & UES $191 MTE, UES & UWS $197 closed browser same sequence with MTW closed browser MTE & MTW - $201 all rejected. Hotel needs to be around here due to travelling friends in same area (ideally MTE). Should we quit and try again in a week or so or give up? Have cancellable reservation in Hotel Mela at $237 per night as backup.

Same strategy tonight - accessed PL through SavingsBarn.com link :) $157, $165 and $180 all refused. Then decided to add MTW and bid $185 - all rejected :)

So far today have bid $121 (nothing wrong with being optimistic) added UES and bid$137 added UWS and $154 all rejected. Any advice for tomorrow's bids appreciated

Checked out packages on on hotwire and revealed that the $173 was likely to be the Hyatt Got some advice and bid on priceline $110 4* MTE - unsuccessful $120 4* MTE & UWS - successful Grand Hyatt

We've just got great flights but I'm struggling to get a decent hotel at under $200 a night. I've used Priceline in London and Chicago so guess its time to give it a go in NYC. Stayed in the Barclay last time and loved it, got it on Hotwire. There is a 4* on hotwire at the mo at $173 that could be the Barclay or the Hyatt. Want to pay as little as possible, really would prefer MTE as location. Any advice?

Booked it! Had gone up by a whole $1 in the meantime but Barclay Inter-Continental it was for $170 per night Jan 24-29. Cheapest rate on thier website is $295

Thanks! Haven't booked yet, will do in the morning (1am here) and will post with hotel details. The Barclay was the closest match I could find on the list but one of the icons listed was missing (or vice versa) Anyway thanks for your help
