I booked the 2 additional nights with the above HOTWIRE link and won the Palazzo. I ended up requesting for 3 adults to be sure. Thanks so much for your responses and help.

Thanks, I have booked the Bella suite with 2 queen beds with points for my 1st 2 nights at the Palazza. Would I need to show more than 2 adults on hotwire for the hotel to merge the reservations for the 2nd 2 nights?

I am sorry for not reporting, but have reported on the NYC trip. I am ready to book. I have booked 2 nights with points at the Palazzo and gather that the 5 star North strip area all suites hotel @ $98 per night is also the Palazzo. If you agree I am ready to book. I know it's not a guarantee but from reading other threads it seems that it is the Palazzo. i have spoken to the hotel and they told me to notify them re the 3rd party booking and that they would accommodate me rather than me checking out and them having to recheck me in. Do you think that's true? Thanks in advance for your help.

I ended up booking directly with hotel. Thanks for your help. and sorry for not reporting this.

I would prefer a 4 star. I am taking my son and would need 2 beds. Is that a problem"? Thanks

Done.

I'm hoping to bid for a hotel in NYC on 11/29/11-12/2/11. I imagine this is a very busy time of the year. To start off, does anyone have some input on what prices I can expect through Priceline for these dates? I'm looking into 4* hotels in Manhattan. Zones include: CPS,MTE,MTW, TS Thanks!

Thanks. Very valuable & informative information. We do want the Intercontinental. By you giving me the option of booking 4/21- 4/26 @ $166 is a great alternative. I also checked the AAA rate for the hotel directly & it is $306.00 /nt for the one night. I might be able to save doing it this way. I am also a Priority Club Rewards Member which I hear helps. Which do you recommend? A). I would book 4 nights w/ hotwire & 1night w/ the hotel directly. :). 4 night w/ Hotwire @ $166 & 1 night @ $266 C). 5 nights w/ Hotwire @$191 D). What do you mean 4 nts+ 1 nt might be "just a little bit messy".Even if 4 nts Hotwire & 1 nt Hotel directly? Also do you recomend renting a van ? Thru Hotwire OR PRICELINE? HOTWIRE RATE IS $205.07 We are 6 people w/luggage, 2 trips to airport (to & from) ; at least 1 day trip; restaurant travel to OSJ etc. Hotel parking is $16.00 per day. + parking in OSJ etc. If I don't rent the whole time , I will definitely rent for 1 day. What's your expert opinion on these matters. Thanks again for your time . This site is extremely helpful and i really appreciate everything about it.

Thanks for your patience with me. I have still not booked. My dates are 4/21/08-4/26/08 .; 2 rooms, party of 6 . I believe hotwire's rate at the Intercontinental (as identified) is $191.00. It has fluctuated from $180. $179, $175, $201, and now $191 in the past week. I prefer the Intercontinental for the beach and access to food, grocery etc. w/in walking distance. Also short cab ride to OSJ . Also favorable reviews. The availability of moderate restaurants closeby is a plus since the kids can walk there if my wife and I want to go for a nice dinner alone. Also we want to have availability to eat outside the hotel due to the high cost of Hotel food. I also realize that there might be a resort fee added on. The rate per nite on hotwire at the $191 works out to over $235.00 per room per night including tax recovery charge and fees (but not including possible add'l cost & fees the hotel adds on). Thats's a total of $2354.26. I would prefer to keep total room cost around $2000.00 and also prefer the Intercontinental. What is your opinion as to booking Hotwire now @ $191? What is your opinion about trying Priceline? What is your opinion as to other means of booking? What is your opinion as to the Approx. budget of $2000.00? Thanks again for your help.

I am pretty much set on the Intercontinental. Hotwire has the rate of $179.00. Dates are 4/21/08-4/26/08. 2 rooms, 6 people. 1). Should I try Priceline in the resort category and bid or is it possible to get Caribe Hilton, El San Juan, Marriott,or Wyndham 2). What's your opinion on purchasing now vs. waiting? I believe that I am close to booking. The Intercontinental Hotel reservations says that there is an 11% Gov. Tax and a 11% Resort fee. HOTWIRE includes the roomrate + Tax Recovery charges and fees which is approx. 22%. Am I safe to assume that I won't be charged any additional room fees? I am requesting 2 rooms w/ 3 adults and 3 children

Thanks, HOTWIRE lists: Resort casino restaurant(s) Laundry facilities tennis nearby beachfront pool(s) Business center High-speed internet access spa services Could you please identify/

Hotwire lists 4* Hotel in San Juan w/ the following amenities: Boutiqe Hotel Fitness Center Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access Smoke free Rooms Pool(s) Business Center Also says Customer Favorite! Can you please identify? Also there are 6 of us (4 adults (2-18 yr old) & 2 children (15 yrs) On Hotwire I put in 2 rooms ,4 adults and 2 children and the rate is $180 x 5 =$1800.00 + $394.98 =$2194.98 If I put in 3 rooms it's $136 per room per night (136 x 5 = $2040 + $448.57 (Tax recovery chgs & fees) = $2488.57. It's worth it for the $290 total extra cost for the extra room Am I doing this right. Also does the fees & charges cover resort fees, if any? Dates are 4/21/08 - 4/26/08 Considering the Intercontinental. Seems like reviews are very good. Also want a good beach. From what I've heard food expensive in hotel. Probably will eat out . Also need to be near some entertainment/ restaurants off premises since I have to feed 6.

My mistake . The date is 11/18/2007

sorry , The date is 11//07 and the price is $104.00 + tax

Millenium Broadway is my backup at $279.00 w/cancellation @ 6:00p.m day of arrival

I'm sorry for being so ignorant, but could you please explain what you mean by "re-bid zone 1; re-bid zone 2. Also, do I not include UES & UWS as they don't have 4*? Also, should I wait and bid closer to my dates 7/16- 7/18 to have a better chance of a lower price?

I'M CONFUSED. MY ZONES ARE MTW & UM/CPS (NOT MWE). I THOUGHT THAT YOU BID THESE ZONES (MTW & UM/CPS) AND ADD UES & UWS SINCE THERE ARE NO 4* HOTELS IN THESE CATEGORIES. WHAT ARE MY REBID ZONES?

I think I've got it. I want 4* in MTW or UM/CPS and am prepared to go to Around $200.00, for 7/16-7/18. Is it too early to bid? I do have a backup reservation good until day of arrival. Is this correct: MTW Bid $90.00 MTW & UMT/CPS bid $95.00 MTW & UMP/CPS & UES (no 4*) 100.00 MTW & UMT/CPS & UES (no 4*) & UWS (No 4*) 105.00 IS THIS RIGHT? WHAT NEXT? DO I CONTINUE MIXING? WHY DO YOU CLOSE AND SRART OVER THE SAME WAY?

thanks, I decided MTE is not an area we want (some hotels further east than we want). I would like help on which areas to bid in and where to start. MTW, UM/Cps, and UEs (no 4*) are what I should start with . Is that correct? I want 4* . dates are 7/16-7/18.Will go to $200.00. Am I correct that UES doesn't have 4*? What are the 4* hotels in UWS?

I am new and need some help with PL on a 4* hotel. I want to be between 6th ave on the East ; Central Park South on the north; Broadway on the West and 40th st on the south. I am willing to bid up to or above $200 but would prefer a nicer hotel. A true 4-5*. If I bid more, does it mean that I will get a better (more expensive) hotel or am I really kind of bidding against myself. I notice discrepencies between 4* and 3* hotels between trip adviser and PL. Also if I have special requests such as Anniversary, No Smoking room, and King Bed how do you handle. Thanks for your help.
