Hello there, I have been trying to research as much as possible before starting my bid for two rooms in NYC or March 18 to March 21 2015. I will provide you with as many details as possible about what I am hoping to get and do. Any advice on ANY aspect of our trip is greatly appreciated. :) Family of four, two teens age 14 and 16 and myself and husband. My husband is a bit skeptical about using priceline bidding for New York as we aren't New York, or even very travel, "savvy". We are doing a three night stay in New York before heading to Orlando for our first cruise. We were hoping to catch all the usual tourist attractions, (I'm pretty sure I am going to purchase a new york city pass) and I'm hoping to use public transit (?) to save money so we would need to be central. We also hope to catch a broadway show (I'm thinking Avenue Q, my teens are pretty mature) so I am looking into discounted tix. I have read your comments on the Hudson Hotel having smaller rooms so I would want to avoid it, (I realize NY hotel rooms are generally smaller than most cities so that is why we are spending more of our budget on two rooms). We generally stay in 4 or 4.5 star hotels like the Hyatt, higher end Marriotts, Westin, etc. because they are more affordable here in Vancouver than New York. We would be okay with a Best Western or similar as long as it is safe, clean, convenient location and well managed. Ideally, I was hoping to pay a total 750.00 US, for both rooms, "all in" as that equals approx 1000.00 CAD for the booking. (Our dollar has been taking a beating) But having said that, we will pay more rather than lowering our star level as we probably wont be going back to New York again for a very long time, if ever and I want the family to enjoy themselves. As far as bidding areas, we would like to be walking distance to attractions or close to transit and in safe neighborhood. (I am not at all familiar with New York) Thank you for your time.
