Ended up using Priceline to see if I would get a better overall price. Bid up to $375 and with taxes everything came out to be about $450. Hotwire has same hotel for $365 but with taxes it was $495 and even with the coupon of $15 it was $480 so I still saved $30 by using PL for same hotel. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your help! I didn't see Fairmont as an option in the Hotwire list of hotels either, so it sounds like they are adding some additional hotels recently. I'm going to keep checking over the next week or two since I still have some time until I have to be there. I will report back of the final result. Thank you!

Hi, I would like your help with identifying these two hotels: Union Square East: $286; FULL AMENITIES: Pet friendly, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services (Via Bidding Helper) Financial District Embarcadero: $365: FULL AMENITIES: Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services (Via Bidding Helper) --- I think this is Lowes but this hotel was not on the official Hotwire list so I have to double check here. Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

I tried two days in row with no luck on priceline. Bid up to $115 + tax. Then I saw today Hotwire has a rate of $174 for 3 people/day for a total of $1,009 for a 4* in MTC. Decided to go ahead and book that since we are all guaranteed a bed. Amendities were smoke free, restaurant, gym high speed internet and business center. Turned out to be Sheraton New York & Towers. Excellent location, so pleased with the results. Thanks for all your help!

Great, thanks for the information. I feel a little more confident in bidding now.

Thanks for your response. That definitely clarifes it for me. So I guess that laced bid 3.5* in the PRICELINE process to get this hotel. Thanks!

Quick question - did PL lists Sheraton as a 4* or 3.5*? In other words, did you book with a minimum rating of 4* or 3.5*? Thanks much.

I'm so sorry but I want to verify the 5 free rebid zones. I think they are MSG/Convention, Chelsea, Long Island, Brooklyn, and Upper East. Is that correct? Thank you!

Yes, we're willing to do that. Worse comes to worse, one person can sleep in the bathroom! :) Thank you!

We have three people total, but I'm comfortable bidding for double occupancy and just adding a rollaway bed if need be. Hotwire has a 4* located in MTC for $135/night. Amendities include Fitness, Restaurant, Business Center and Highspeed Internet. Not sure which this hotel is. Total is $789.53. Trying to see if can get it down to maybe $120/night. Seeking for help since I'm new to this. Do you think Priceline would be able to beat this? I'm ok with MTE, MTW and TS/TD areas. Thanks!
