Booked this hotel on 1-16-2015. Amenities listed : free parking, free internet, pet friendly, indoor pool(s), airport shuttle, fitness center, pool(s), restaurants, business center. Saved me $80 from booking on the website!!

Found this deal on express deals late on Wednesday 4/17. amenities listed were pets allowed, restaurant, airport shuttle, business center & fitness center. Priceline also has a promotion going right now and with code metro10 I also got an additional $38.10 taken off of my total. So that made my total per night $114.30 before taxes & fees (after taxes & fees my total was $145.83/night). :D I have been searching for about 2 months & my time patience finally paid off. I had a back-up hotel booked which was a 2* with shared bathrooms for $164/nt pretax - so compared to that, this is the deal of the century!

well I'm going to give it a try for the 4* for $150 - in your opinion what star level do you think is more realistic for the $150 price range? or would it help more to expand my bidding zones?

I have also bid as low as a 2.5* rating, but when doing so my maximum bid was generally only $130. WHen I started bidding on the 4* hotels, I increased my maximum bid to $150. to clarify my "wants", my goal is the highest star rating my $150/nite budget will allow. I'm mostly looking for a clean hotel, not too far from a subway stop, size isn't as big of an issue, and I would like to stay more in the central area of NYC. If you could suggest a strategy for a 4* in the chelsea,ESB,MSG,TS,CPS,HK,MTE,& MTW areas with a maximum bid of $150. ALso, just wondering if it's better to book now or try to wait unitl closer to the travel date? do the prices generally go up or down as the departure date gets closer? thanks so much for the help!!

amenities shown before bidding included: free parking, swimming pool, free internet, restaurant,airport shuttle, business center & fitness center

used PRICELINE EXPRESS deals

I've bid in all of the listed areas by selecting 4 star rating and have bid as high as $150. i've also added the soho,tribeca area & done rebidding using areas that do not have a 4 star listing.

Taking my daughter to NYC from April 24-27 for college grad gift. Top choices of areas would be Chelsea, ESB,MSG,& TS. Also good with CPS,HK,MTE & MTW. Looking to stay for under $150/nt if possible for a 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 star hotel. Any bidding help would be greatly appreciated. I've been bidding almost every day for about a month with no luck. Maybe I'm just too early to get that price point? Should I wait until within 2 weeks of travel to get a better deal??
