thx, it sounds really good. but i cannot find it on HOTWIRE, maybe it sold out...? btw do you know that all the 3* hotels on PRICELINE have private bathroom? because i saw a few 3* on agoda marked: shared bath. which are still a 3* hotel.... such as newton hotel, about $200 per night. is there any chance we bid a 3* on priceline which have to share bathroom...?? thanks~~~

i tried $200 in Jersey city for 3.5*(doubletree hotel),rejected. then i tried $200 in all areas in Manhattan for 3*, still rejected. maybe i should take the express deal for $207 for 3* in time square?? PRICELINE is not much cheaper than bookings and agoda if i keep adding prices....

i think its sheraton. btw did you get it?

Are you willing to bid up to your $200 limit at this point in time OR do you prefer to try up to $160 again for a 3* property... or you can wait it out and hope for lower rates in the weeks ahead (but as noted above this is the start of high season in NYC) yes im willing to bid up to $200. if its still not working, what do you think about living in New jersey where can traveling thru path. 4 stars like Hyatt and W, what do you reckon for the bid price? i have tried up to $170, still rejected....

Hi thanks for replying. strange thing is that one week later or earlier than my trip is much cheaper(4-5* can be about $200 for express deals)than the week we are staying(over $300 for 4* on express deal). Only 9/9-13/9 is the most expensive week... so far, i have included all the areas in Manhattan except upper side. 2.central park south 3. Chelsea 5. downtown 6. empire state building 7. HK 9. Lower east side 10. Madison Square 11. Midtown East 12. Midtown West 15. SOHO 16. Time square i tried separated them at first, and eventually i include all these areas in my choice to bid up $160. got rejected by all 3.5* and 4* so what should i do? why only that week is so high, should i wait? or

Hi everyone, could you advise me when its better to bid on priceline for those 4 nights hotel in Manhattan? because so far i tried all the areas (except upper east side and upper west side)up to $160 for 4* and 3.5* hotels. i dont know how others can bid 3.5* or 4* at only over $120 or so. i checked hotwire as well. one week earlier than my trip time, the price is cheaper. however, the price jump up from 9 Sep. am i booking too early now or that is the way it supposed to be? basically, we can live in any areas in Manhattan except upper east/west side(seems far from the midtown, or maybe i was wrong, they are still convenient?) we accept walking up to 15 mins to the subway. Max $160 or less for the 3*. so whats the strategy here? many thanks
