Many thanks. I am looking for anything 3*+ in Manhatten for April/May, for 5 nights [although very happy to break up my stay in order to get a deal/steal]. So the issue is with such a wide window and scope of hotel its hard to pin things down. I definitely have a budget of around $170 per night (all in), but would love to find something for 140-150. At the risk of losing tempers with repetitive bid questions, I did come across something that looked very interesting: 6 May - 9 May [3 nights], Priceline Express Deal, 4*, Central Park South, $119 per night Fitness Centre, Business Centre, Free Internet. Guest score of 7+ I went on the Priceline normal hotel view, and filtered for that location, and for the amenities, there were only 6/5 hotels, most of them were around $300 per night, but one was Park Central, and was about $165. Is it 95% certain that this Express Deal is Park Central, or do people actually get $300 hotels for $119? Finally the taxes and surcharges really kill you, the above offer is 119 a night so I figured $357. It is actually $530 all in, so $177 per night. Right at the top of my budget.
