I want to be "in the thick of things," while getting a great experience/ambiance at our hotel. We stayed at the Waldorf in years past and I guess I am looking for that (although I know for our price, some sacrifices will need to be made). We want to be able to walk to shopping on 5th Ave, see the christmas lights/tree at RFC, etc. We will plan on getting out into the more quaint areas for meals. Last year we stayed in Soho and I felt a little too "removed" from it all. I do not, however, care to be in the middle of TImes Square. Does that help?? Does that even make sense? :)

Ok---perhaps I need to drop down to a 4 star rating. Suggestions for that as far as Express deals go? Also, is there any benefit from doing Hotwire also? I have never used that platform, but wondered if there is any reason to try there?

I am up to 302 on my bidding and still no bites for a 4.5* in MTE, CPS, or RFC. Suggestions? Should I just wait another few days and try again?

I am certainly open to bidding on PRICELINE. I am willing to pay up to $300/night BUT I would certainly love to keep it under that and score a 4.5* or better if possible for the least amount possible. Thanks!

Looking to travel with my husband and am new to the whole Priceline bidding. We are willing to spend around $300/night and would like to stay in the Midtown East, Central Park South, or Rock Center/Bryant park locations. We stayed at the Waldorf in the past and would LOVE to do so again (or somewhere just as fun). Thanks in advance for your help!
