Good to know, will give it a try! Thanks

Thank you very much for your help on the bidding strategy :-) It worked perfect and just got a win: Hilton New York Fashion District for $133/night

Lets exclude CPS area then

Yes, I will actually try bidding before. Quite open on the location, we can add more zones than previously: Chelsea, Union Square, Greenwich Village, Midtown East, Midtown West, Central Park South. 4* and max $150.

One more question actually, for express bidding, is it better to use Price.line or Hot.wire? Thanks!

Went up to $135 but I didnt get anything...left on holidays and left it there...I can see that now Midpoint has an hotel above 3.5 I also had to change my dates 29/08 to 31/08 I will now try PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals on Priceline. Would you please have an idea of the following hotels: - 4 star rating - Midtown West area - rated of 8.0 - business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center - $159 / night - 4 star rating - Central Park South area - not rated - Business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center / Pets Allowed / Free Internet - $157 / night - 4.5 star rating - Midtown East area - rated of 8.0 - Business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center / Pets Allowed - $168 / night - 4 star rating - Upper West Side area - rated of 7.0 - Business Center / Restaurant / Fitness Center / Pets Allowed / Indoor or Outdoor Pool - $149 / night Many thanks in advance, A.

Would be Greenpoint I guess

Makes sense...will give it a try and let you know!

Here are all the zones in NY and the highest star rating Brooklyn: 4 Central Park South: Chelsea: 4.5 Coney: 2 Downtown: 5 Empire State: 5 Greenpoint: 3 Greenwich Village: 4 Hell's Kitchen: 4 Long Island: 4 LES: 4.5 Madison Square Garden: 4 Midtown East: 5 Midtown West: 4.5 Morningside Harlem: 3.5 Queensborough: 4 Soho: 5 Times Square: 5 Union Square: 4 Upper East Side: 5 Upper West Side: 4 What should I do now? :-)

Thanks for the strategy. Just to make sure: I start choosing Chelsea with $110 bid if rejected I add Greenwich Village with $110 bid if rejected I raise to $115 choosing Chelsea only if rejected I add Greenwich Village with $115 bid etc Is that correct? Thanks

Having read a few reviews I would rather pass on the Hudson hotel. Would you then have a different strategy (even excluding CPS not to take into account Hudson hotel)? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I meant Midtown west. I would also add Central Park South in addition to the zones of my previous post. And thanks for the guess for Hotwire.

Hi all, Im looking for an hotel in the following areas: Chelsea (ideally), Greenwich Village, Union Square, Midtown. Max budget of $150/night and 3.5* minimum rating. Dates: 31.08 to 02.09 (2 nights) Is this search something realistic for those dates? Thank you in advance for your help. A.

Thank you very much for the answer. I will have a look at the hotel mentioned and let you know if I go forward with the booking.

I did! They indeed gave me back the difference in price.

Reporting this win in Florence (4*, Florence Central, $90). Started the bids quite low at $55 but only got it at $90...not a great bargain as I found the same hotel to be cheaper in a different website... Hope that helps.
