Successful on my first session, because of this board! I monitored the prices, and all the successes. I started my search via the PRICELINE link above. I needed two rooms for two nights. A total of four room-nights. My budget was $1000.00 for rooms. I knew that $180 to $210 was the sweet spot, so started at $165. Select 4* MTE, MTW, CPS, TS, ESB and Downtown (i'm assuming all of there are still acceptable)... Bid $165, rejected, add re-bid Chelsea... Bid $170, rejected, add re-bid MSG... Bid $175, rejected, add re-bid UES... Bid $180, rejected, closed browser and used your link to re-access PRICELINE Select 4* MTE, MTW, CPS, TS, ESB and Downtown and UWS... Bid $185, rejected, add Chelsea... Bid $190, Success! Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $190.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $760.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $141.04 (USD) Total Room Cost: $901.04 (USD) Under budget by $100.00 I've never stayed here, but am familiar with the area. We'll try our luck at an upgrade when we check in. We are far away from Midtown, but we get around on the subway pretty easily. Thank you for this board.
