120 isn't the absolute max, 160 is. However since I've seen the Hyatt for 150, 120 was as far as i went this far in advance. i will keep trying (do you think every 4 days is too much? or just try once a week?)

NYC trip cancelled.
Well after much planning our trip is canceled. Dr. advised against traveling very far, and against air travel completely since we do not have confirmed seats on a flight. Now we are looking at Savannah since that is only about a 4 hr drive and can quickly get to the Dr. if necessary. I will post in the PRICELINE Georgia section with any success on that trip. (using PRICELINE on that trip also)
Thanks for everyones help it is greatly appreciated. Maybe we can try NYC again soon.
i know your rebid zones are right for a 4*, as far as rates go I'm not sure yet, but i'm going to Manhattan 5/9-5/11 however I've been extremely busy and haven't done any bidding as soon as i bid I'll let ya know!
Thanks dahammer,
Sadly my daughter is on elecare 24 calorie per oz (instead of the usual 20 cal/oz) so we have to mix 21 oz of water to 1 cup elecare powder. A nuisance sometimes and quite expensive! So we have to use pitchers. i do believe i've figured out how much per bottle(3 1/2 oz bottles) seems like it's going to be 1.3 tblsp. But enough about that! this is a travel forum!!!
Thanks, will let you know how the bidding goes. one more thing, do you know if 4* usually have refrigerators? Need one but not absolutely necessary for the baby's formula.
sorry about that, had a brain storm after the post and called several of the 4* on the priceline list and they have mini bars that will be sufficient for the formula.

Thanks for all the great info on bidding. My 2 rebid zones are UES and UWS for 4 star hotels correct? Just want to verify.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah the Bjorn does dig into my back after a few hours. might look into a good umbrella stroller. So I think we are looking at MTE, MTW, TS, MTS and also Upper midtown/CP south.
Oh and yes, we can actually pick the flight we standby for, if we don't make it then we get rolled over to the next, but since there are flights from ATL to LGA every 30 min(i guess it is obvious which one i work for?) and I can also view seat availability for every flight so will be able to make a good judgment on what flight to try for.
oh yes i remember that now. Baby Bjorn if she'll stay in it, I think a stroller in NYC might get a little crowded. plus i work for an airline and flying standby so who knows what flight we will be able to catch so i don't want the stroller going around the carousel at LGA with us still in ATL.
My wife and i spent a weekend in NYC in 2006 (middle of December ,stayed at the San Carlos) so we are vaguely familiar with NYC. We usually use mass transit on vacation(even though we are from Atlanta and mass transit is abysmal here) so i don't think downtown would be any problem for us.
I do have one question about that though. How long is the subway ride from downtown to central park? Just curious.
Never used priceline before, I've been reading this forum for about a month and i believe i get how it works in regards to rebidding and adding free zones. But now it's time for a trip.
Want 4* MTE, MTW, Times Square, MTS, and Downtown Soho FD are the areas i wish to stay in.
Will be travelling with my wife and my daughter will be 10 months at the time of travel.
Any recommendations pertaining to hotel, price and bidding would be greatly appreciated since I have not seen any posts for stays near these dates.
prefer around 200 absolute max 250 (including tax, fees, etc.)
is this the residence inn on peachtree or west peachtree?
Savannah 4/15-17 3*

wow. that skyrocketed! No at the moment we do not have a backup. just quickly looking at Travelocity the courtyard is 189 and the Hampton is 139. Either of those would be acceptable. Granted 189 is a bit more than the budget but isn't a bank breaker.
