thanks so much ... we ended up not staying at a hotel, given the growing size of our party.  We will try one of these hotels in the near future.  I have stayed at the InnSide and loved it. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Thanks so much, Thereuare.  Glad the reply issues are fixed.

I checked the hotels uing BiddingHelper.  We now want to consider hotels around Times Square.  Same dates, with max of $200-$250/night.  4* minimum. 

I see a lot of hotels within this price range, but the matching algorithm is not working.  Any recommended properties.  

Thanks - Noela

Hello Thereuare and Moderators:

I am arranging a getaway with wifey to Atlantic City area between June 25 and 28th.

Is this a good deal? Anything else?

Hello,

I plan to travel to the Atlantic City casino area 12/14 - 12/15 (Saturday-Sunday).

I am looking for a 3.5* hotel @ approximately $100/night. 

I prefer to be close to the casinos and boardwalks - since the party I am traveling would love to go to the casinos

I would appreciate some assistance in suggesting some places.

thanks - Noela

Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve changed our plans and decided to just get one room. Suites not needed.

is it possible to have a bid strategy for $100 max/night for 3* ?

Stonybrook, Haupage and Airport areas are ok, as you suggested above.

thanks. Noela

Hello,

I am travelling back to NY area (Long Island - Lake Grove) in about two weeks - for 2 nights:  8/24 - 8/26.

Again, I would need a room with an attached living room/kitchenette in the Lake Grove area.

Preferred star/rate:  Minimum 3* / Maximum of 150/Night.

If this type of configuration is not an option, then I can also consider two separate rooms:  3* / but $100 max/night.

My preference however is the suite type of unit....

thanks - Best wishes of the night.    from Noeal

Danke !

yes,  checkout date is 13.

and a regular room with pull out sofa would be good.   Sorry about the errors.

best wishes - nOela

Thanks:

I don't need a second room for a privacy etc.  Just space available for a pull-out bed / air mattress.  Something similar to the

1. Junior suite available at this DoubleTree:  LINK

or:

one bedroom Queen suite at this Benjamin: LINK

In both cases, the little living room can house two air mattresses.

The $250 budget is exclusive of taxes...

thanks again, Thereuare:

UPDATE: also, I realized that hotels with "Suites"  have separate sofar room facilities, hence, I would want to include those too.

I am revising my maximum cost to about $250.

thanks - Noela

Hello,

Need some bidding help. I am traveling to NYC next weekend for a business meeting.

I am traveling with my family and need two rooms. I want to cut down cost and preferably get a room with an attached living room/kitchenette so the kids can use inflatable beds there. Just like some Residence Inns do.

Rating: 3.5* and over

Cost: $200 max/ night.

Access to Wi-Fi is a must, free parking a plus but not essential. Proximity to Times Square area would be ideal. 

Thanks in advance for your tips and suggestions.

Best, Noela

Priceline has been moving/hiding the Name Your Own Price page and making it harder to find.  We have set up the following page for direct access to the priceline bidding page so that it always easily accessible:

Yes, I realized that last night and had to come back to this board for guidance - for some reason, I guessed there would be a post on it, and I did find your links....

Even if this is the only 3.5* hotel located in this zone, the other issue with bidding for this trip is that your 3.5 star bid could have been upgraded to a 4 star property, which brings a whole new group of hotels (which may be further away from your venue) in the mix.

Perfect .... never thought of that ...

Thanks, anyway ! 

Best wishes - Noela

Thanks, Thereuare:

I thought of bidding given that this hotel is probably the only 3.5 in that zone ... but you never know - I can be landed in a different place....

So I took your advice and booked through PRICELINE EXPRESS and got the Hotel Goveneur ...@ $85/night - almost 50% off the listed price of $159.00
