Hello, I would like to tell you that I was very successful with your suggestions on bidding. I am not sure how to change this thread to a "win" but here is what I did. I choose to bid on a 5*, starting with Chelsea at $260, no go, then adding $265, no go, then adding harlem $270, no go, then adding grand central $275---WON.....soho, The Smyth $275 a night 10/13/16-10/16/16. Priceline: Restuarant, Free Internet, Pets, Fitness Center, Non Smoking. Absolutely amazing deal. Again, thank you
I have used your site before with outstanding results. I have read through the NYC threads and see that the NYC hotels are going the way of the Vegas hotels with super high "fees" "resort fees" blah blah. I am wondering if you might have any information on which hotels charges these additional (and ridiculous) fees?
Also, I will be traveling Oct 12-16th and am know that this is a VERY high season. However, I will not be able to even begin looking for a hotel until we land in NYC because we are standby. So my question is, is it super unlikely we might get a room (doesnt really matter where, just somewhere on the island), 5* for $300 a night? Or should we lower our expectations to 4*?
Thank you very much for any information you might be able to give me. I will continue to follow to continue to make notes so I might have an idea what I am bidding on :).
Cheers
Of course! I was so excited I totally forgot.
Thanks for the good wishes---will attempt the "sandwich" once I get there :)
Hi, Wanted to extended my sincerest thank you to the Admins of this site for all the hard work that has been put into helping with my research of Las Vegas 5* North strip hotels. It was because the small nuisances in each description of the similar hotels that I was able to get the Palazzo hotel for $99 per night (plus taxes) on hotwire. Of course, I used your HOTWIRE link. Again, thanks!!!
