Thank you for your help! I would say given the prices on the hotel websites, I'd like to pay no more than $185. Do you think this is feasible?

october 22-24 thank you, this is the frienliest site around!

Hi I am attempting to bid in MTE/MTW, i bid up to 140 for 3* no luck, I now realize i need to bid much higher in 72hrs. I dont know what areas other than MTE/MTW and CP to bid...Never been to NY but want to be in the heart of it all. seems like many hotels are sold out. Should I bid 4* then 3*? the following are rates ive found by researching thanks for any help. MTW 4* Hilton Times Square - $279 Marriott NY Marquis $349 HiltonTimes Sq- Not Available Sheraton Towesrs $289 3* Warwick N/A Paramount $292 Sheraton Manhattan $289 MTE Hyatt Grand $385 Millenium Not available Waldorf Astoria - $329. Intercontinental The Barkley - $299. 3* Metropolitan $239 Marriott East Side: N/A Raddisson East Side $251 Crowne Plaza $235

july 30-aug 1 dropped july 29, when i went back to extend the day, it said the hotel was sold out

no through priceline, now my friends would like to come and bid also, i hope they are as successful

I reserved as a back up the mariott. then I changed my dates and decided to only stay 2 nights received the mariott for $80~what a savings! Everything is overbooked around town, and even the 2 stars are going for around 150- must be seafair. thanks for your help

ahhh! I went up to $122 no go..even for 4* dwtwn! everything looks sold out..maybe inventory will open up? hopeful? dont know what to do

I've been about 4 times this year. check out the border crossing website. i believe if u take a birth certificate and photo id you should be ok. but if not def. take a passport. have fun-its beautiful there! oh yeah! definitly take the truck crossing, otherwise,you may be there up to 1.5 hrs (its happened esp. on the way back) truck crossing is usually very quick

hello, any suggestions for 3 night stay july 29-aug 1 i believe it maay be a busy weekend lake union, it appears the only hotels that come up are silver cloud and courtyard by mariott, which would be great. i called the hotels and was quoted rates of $140..whoa! a lot for 2.5 stars. priceline shows 2 stars but i don't believe anything comes up with stars. what would you bid? $40? thanks a lot..great forum

i bid resort you are correct sorry :) do you think i paid too much? yes bid to high for sobeach and gave up..miami beach isnt that far is it?

4* miami beach fountainbleau hilton july 2 $89

just bid $90, with free rebid up to $98 for July 2~ no go whats going on? maybe 4th of july weekend?

Great Advice. Thanks again. I will be sure to keep you all posted as to what happens.

south beach hotel 4* $65 Royal Palm

Thank you for your help. I will post my result as a separate topic. In regard to the resort fee and this particular hotel, is it really not a nice hotel? I'm fearing the worst from all the bad things I've read. It's a shame priceline rates it as a 4* when other sites name it 3*. Glad you got your money back. I wonder if I arrive there and speak to a general manager and complain if they would even do anything about that. Or complain to priceline directly? Also, do you know if I bid higher you say it opens doors to more properties, is it the higher I bid, the nicer hotel I get?

Hello, First I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful board-It seems to be one of the more friendlier ones around! :o I have already bid (and won) on PL for a 4* hotel in South Beach for $65 at the Royal Palm on June 26-June 28. Well, I also need a room on July 2 for one night, either resort or 4*. All my bids and rebids have been rejected at $82. Do you suggest I wait or bid much higher? Also, just a question if anyone has disputed the fact that Royal Palm charges a $10 resort fee at the hotel? Only if you bid resort on PL will it tell you there are hidden fees. not happy about this one :) thanks in advance for your help. :)
