I really wanted Chelsea or Madison Square Garden zones because of proximity to Javits Convention Center. I added Times Square as I raised my bid. It's a convention week so prices are high. 2 nights @ $215 plus taxes/fees totals $537.62. I'm not sure I will like this hotel (with mixed reviews) but I'll give it a try.
I was nervous on the way to the hotel. I read on TripAdvisor that the rooms in the pyramid did not have wifi (I NEED wifi for work) and that a/c works poorly in those rooms. It was over 100 degrees outside. I was EXTRA nice to the front desk staff and was given a beautiful room in the newer tower with wifi and great a/c. I am thankful that I did my research and was able to be proactive for room choice.
I didn't do such a great job bidding this time. I see $170 special offer at hotel's website and I could have gotten HH points. I'll need to be more careful next time.
Free Internet, Pet friendly, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access BTW, I didn't see this combination of amenities in your pinned NY hotel list.

Used your PRICELINE link and followed most of your bidding advice. Bid up to $170 for more desireable areas & used re-bidding zones. Then added Downtown area and started bidding at $140. Total with tax and fees is $188.81. I'm only staying 1 night so downtown should be ok.
I started with a bid of $128 for 4* MTE, MTW, TS and ESB. The first bid was accepted at the Royalton Hotel. Total cost for 2 rooms for 1 night with taxes and fees is $318.20. I used your link to PRICELINE. Thank you for the help!
I am actually very flexible for location since it's just a 1-night business trip. My goal is to find a 4* at a decent price not too far from a subway stop. I'd be open to any of the midtown districts. Lower Manhattan would be an acceptable second choice.
Need 2 rooms for 1 nite 4/25 to 4/26. I used your link to go to PRICELINE. In Times Sq area the "best deal" is for a 4-star hotel. How much should I bid for it? I didn't see any recent wins for 4-star in that area on the board.
First bid accepted at Priceline. I used betterbidding link to PRICELINE. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $44.00 Subtotal: $88.00 Taxes & Fees: $21.64 Total Charges*: $109.64
Bid $50 for 4* - rejected Added 3.5* and bid $51 - accepted Doubletree Miami Mart/Airport Hotel & Exhibition Center. Total with tax $65.31 for one nite. Used PRICELINE link from Better Bidding website.
Avis car at $60 / day. Total cost for 5 days $385. Cheapest price elsewhere was over $500. It's a peak week in Miami. I hope the winning bid was from a BetterBidding link. I had to sign out and sign into Priceline many times to re-bid. Started at $30 and rebid about 20 times to get acceptance at $60.

Miami (Coral Gables - Coconut Grove) does not have a beach. It's about 20 minutes to Key Biscayne or a bit further to Miami Beach for a real beach. I'd recommend you find a hotel in Miami Beach since you will only have 1 night and probably will be tired of driving.
Accepted first bid of $38 for 3* in Madison East. Got Courtyard By Marriott Madison East. I like Courtyard chain so this should work fine for me. I used BetterBidding link to PRICELINE.
