My previous Priceline bids (sorry I deleted the emails already) were 4 bids ranging from $90 up to $140 for a 4 star in the Times Square area (I think it's midtown east on Priceline). I've been trying about a week now. I've seen other people had bids for less accepted and was kind of bummed when mine - up to $140 - was rejected. I am going to see some broadway shows that weekend so I'd really like to stay in that area and many friends are also staying in that area that weekend as well. I have done some research and I cannot find any conventions or particular reasons for that weekend being high... it's right before high season (Thanksgiving) seems to start from what I've seen. I need HS Internet or at least a modem port (hence the 4 star) so I can logon to work and do homework for my online courses while I'm there (bleh). Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi, I am searching for a hotel in NYC (Times Square area) for Nov 13-17. I need HS Internet or would prefer at least 4 stars so I at least have a modem port. I found a 4 1/2 star hotel on HW but the price is pretty high ($224). Now if I search for next week, the price drops dramatically. Am I searching too far in advance? I tried Priceline based on what people paid here for 4star hotels in that area and all my bids -- some for much more than successful bids noted on this site, where rejected. So my question is, does anyone know if there is a "better" time to bid on PL or buy on HW? I thought HW in advance would be preferential, but so far it looks like its the opposite. Anyone have any experience regarding this? Thanks!
