Yes a 4* hotel is in the $250+ retail range, which is a bit more than I want pay. I would like to keep the hotel cost under $180/night I don't mind staying at a 3* hotel, if I'm confident it's worthy of the three stars. When I look at a service like priceline I generally shoot a little higher for quality(4*) because it almost guarantees that I won't be disappointed with the hotel. I'll keep looking to see what's out there on the retail end and maybe try some lowball bids for two rooms with priceline. What do I have to lose? Thanks for your insight, I'll keep you posted if I make any bids. This just in, Manhattan is expensive :)

I know that there are no guarantees that I will be receiving a 4 occupancy room with a winning bid. But is there any way to make sure that the hotel I receive has quad occupancy rooms. Is it safe to assume that all 4star hotels have some rooms that accomodate 4 ? I'm trying to get a 4 star in NYC 7/20-7/24 and pay less than $140 (not including taxes), 2adults, 2 children (8 and 12) Prefer to stay near Times Square, but will accept any zone except lower Manhattan Thanks for your help, great forum.
