Thank you so much for all of your help! I did not succeed in getting a 5-star hotel, but I got a room at The Premier Hotel Times Square (a 4.5-star hotel) after bidding $245, which is fine with me because it means I spent less than was I was actually expecting to spend! I used your PRICELINE links to purchase by the way. I really appreciate your assistance - thanks again, and can't wait for my trip to NYC!

Hello, I would like to go ahead and try bidding. Yes, Times Square is the only zone I would like to include in my bid, and my goal is to first try up to a $280 for a 5 star and then, if rejected, try for a 4.5* up to $280. Thanks for your help with this.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will take these two deals into consideration, but yes, if you can please provide an outline / tips on how to proceed with bidding then that would be great as I may decide to do that as well. $280 would be the max I am willing to bid. Thanks again!

Hello all, I am new to BetterBidding and was hoping to get some help with deciding on a hotel in Times Square for my upcoming visit to NYC. My wife and I will be vacationing in nyc from April 26th through April 30th of this year. The star levels I am looking for are either 4.5 or 5 star. I would like to keep my search limited to the TS zone for now. I am interested in these two deals from Priceline Express and was wondering whether you could please provide me with your best guess as to which hotels these might be? Express Deal 1 (check-in 04/26/2017; check-out 04/30/2017): 4.5 star hotel in Times Square - Theater District Area 8+ / 10 guest rating bed choice available 14% off (was $313; now $269 with this deal) Amenities: Pets Allowed, Fitness Center, Business Center (I wanted to include all amenities above, but for some reason clicking on "view all" on the Priceline site is not working for me.) Express Deal 2 (check-in 04/26/2017; check-out 04/30/2017): 5 star hotel in Times Square - Theater District Area 9+ / 10 guest rating bed choice available 16% off (was $357; now $300 with this deal) Amenities: Fitness Center, Pets Allowed, Restaurant (I wanted to include all amenities above, but for some reason clicking on "view all" on the Priceline site is not working for me.) Another question I had is: if I wanted to try to score a 4.5 or 5-star hotel in the Times Square area for slightly less money than what is given in the offers above by using Priceline's name your own price feature, how much do you suggest I bid? Would bidding somewhere between $230-$250 reasonable, or do you recommend increasing this amount a bit? Any help you can provide with the above would be truly appreciated. Thanks!
