I am booking a trip for my girlfriend and I from May 10th, 2017 through May 14th, 2017 as a graduation gift for her. I have already screwed around with PRICELINE yesterday with some bidding and rebidding.
Trip dates: 5/10/17 to 5/14/17
Zones: --> Times Square
--> Central Park South
--> Chelsea
--> SoHo
--> West Village
My zones are not set in stone by any means. I just want to be in a trendier area where the two of us can walk around casually.
My room rate per night can go up to about $200 or about $1000 with everything included (taxes and fees)
I have already tried the name your own price tool for 4.5* hotels in those areas with the multiple bid advice I received from the other boards. So far I have bid from $120 all the way up to $155. I know I was being a little greedy with such a high star rating and such a low price. I want to get back at it again with my rating at 4* in the same or different areas (based on your suggestions) while dropping my starting price to $110 this time.
Any and all help would be appreciated including: zones I should be bidding in
starting bid amount
any deals in regards to price at hotels so I don't have to bid
Thank you!!!!!
