I was looking for a hotel for a brief sight-seeing trip/visit with relatives in Brooklyn. I was hoping to stay in NYC, but was open to Brooklyn. I bid using the PRICELINE link on this site. I first bid at 4* hotels in each of the following areas using re-bid zones: MTW, MTE, Times Square, Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Chelsea, SOHO, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, South Central Park, & Brooklyn. I bid from $135 up to $160 for most areas, though I bid up to $180 when I was bidding for a hotel in SoHo (trying to get the Millenium Hilton that I think is likely a current 4* on Hotwire for $204). No luck. Then I bid for a 3.5* up to $165 for all the areas listed above. Not accepted. Finally, I bid for a 3* at 135, 145, 155, 165, and 170 and was upgraded to the Marriott Brooklyn Bridge (3.5*). As I had previously bid up to $165, when bidding on 3.5* properties, $170 is probably close to the lowest bid that would have been accepted for this hotel. I sorta wish I'd ended up with a hotel in the city, but this property received very good reviews to TripAdvisor, so hopefully it will work out ok. It's close to my relatives as well.
