I took a gander trying piceline for the manhattan area 1st before booking the Candlewood Suites in jersy city ( In my situation location is much more important than star #) and Just as I thought.. no luck at all. I ended up booking a refundable room at hotel 31 as a back up. It is not offered in Priceline/Hotwire and it has a shared bath.

Im still going to continue my priceline bidding incase a miracle occurs. I can cancel my reservations up to a day before for free.. so no harm done. Let me know of your luck. Thank you all for your help!

P.S. I

Please help. Im a first time user, poster and traveller to NYC and I need some suggestions! Im not familliar with the area, but I'm pretty sure Im looking to stay in MTW, MTE, UM/CPS and/or MTS. Pricing and location are my main concerns over the star rating. How do I gst started? what is a good bid?
