Anyone know what this is? 2*condo in Midtown Central 1b, a/c, front desk, laundry, internet, kitchenette Thanks

Hi, thanks for checking up. We called and cancelled that reservation before they processed it because we heard some bad reviews from multiple sources. Just sounded very nice but non-consistent. Also because we realised that our deal did not incluse a park view (which was available for a higher price but for that price we could have a hotel upgrade...) Also because we found a great deal in a neighborhood (ME) that was more convenient for our needs really. BTW the easyclicktravel person was really nice and ok about cancelling. We got the Beekman Tower (so NOT what I originally said I wanted! After looking at the tiny rooms at Hudson, Paramount, etc. the space seemed really relevant. Having breathing room suddenly seemed more important than having cool furniture. I stayed there for a month some years ago and it was great. Kitchenette is handy too!) for 119. on easyclicktravel.com It was 'on request' but the status said 'confirm' rather so we need to check in with them again and make sure it's set.

We did the easyclicktravel for the Parker Meridien per the Travel Guy. 149 plus tax=174.65 Not bad. Have to wait for the confirmation. Caveat: We just read the reviews on Tripadvisor-yikes! pretty scarry! But we'll have a good time no matter what and hopefully will have a more positive experience than those folks.

Tried to bid on Priceline only to discover that only US residents can use it. We live in Switzerland. Doh!

Think we might try dkerley's path from post "4* New York City (UM - CPS) Le Parker Meridien, $120 ... 1/10/05" as a start. We have some time so can play around a bit. Otherwise the other easyclick suggestion for the Meridian sounds as plan b if we repeatedly get rejected with Priceline. BTW what 4*s in MTS work with Priceline? none listed on list-just curious.

Hi, thank you. I did have a look at them. I think the first one is the Paramount and the second one is Morgans. After speaking with my significant other and looking at the Priceline list again-we both feel good about all the 4 stars on the Priceline list in CPS so I think we'll work on a bid there. I'll let you know how it works out. If we don't get a good deal there, we'll try these with Hotwire.

Ideally not more than 175/nt. Even better would be 150 (not incl tax).

Hi, I hear you, thanks. So true-boutique can just mean tiny! Glad to hear Feb is inexpensive! Maybe I should say WHAT we are after in case there is a nice 4* whatever that fits better! We are 30-something adult designers on a belated honeymoon (well, honeymoon, part 2). Appreciate detail, quality, unpretentiousness and value. Modern design, clean, personal (not necc small property but shouldn't feel like a massive cookie cutter thing), fluffy duvet and good linens, great service, hi speed internet. Midtown (East, Central, etc) Strategies for a priceline bid to help zone in on something of this sort?

My husband and I would like to stay at Morgan's or another 4+ star boutique hotel in Midtown/TS/etc. Any tips to bid for boutique hotels with Priceline (clearly this can't be specified but maybe some come up a lot)? Any idea what sort of bid to start with? Thanks for your help, we have never tried Priceline before.
