Stuck with the idea of the Lower East Side. Went with Hotwire and ended up with SixtyLES @ $203. I shoulda booked sooner as the price was climbing daily. Thanks a lot for the help

It would be the first time in NYC. Is the Lower East side a good choice? We tend to be GO GO GO on our vacations. It'd be nice to have a homebase we can go to and just relax. Think you could shed some light. I keep seeing that you have a good insight into NYC. Any tips would be appreciated. THANKS

Thanks a lot for the info. We are heading down to NYC on April 18-25th. I am partial to the Lower East side because of a Beastie Boys album cover. I was also eyeing up a couple of hotels in Long Island City as well. Budget is roughly $200/night but would prefer to be cheaper than that.

Please be gentle this is my first post. I know how message boards can be. My wife and I just got back from a road trip on the left coast. During that trip we booked mostly through Expedia. We were told to try Priceline Express when we changed our plans while in San Diego. Long story short.... The room we got through PRICELINE EXPRESS was far superior at a much lower price than what we got through Expedia. So now we are going to spend a week in NYC for our first time. I've kinda gone through the whole PL bidding thing a bit and it seems like it is the right way to go. I'm looking to stay in the Lower East side. I've used your PL Hotel list on this site, am I reading things right that if I were to bid on a 4.5 * property in the Lower East side I would likely end up getting the Hotel Indigo? If that is correct I am kinda pumped as that is one of the hotels I have been looking into. From there I just need to make a bid on the Priceline site and hope for the best? Any tips on making a bid? Its says Median price is $279 and that I could save as much as 60%. If I shoot for only 50% and bid $140 am I likely to get shot down? ANY advise/help would be appreciated THANKS
