Thank you! I did use the Priceline links provided here. Much appreciated.

FYI - I was just successful at $200 for the Renaissance Hotel 57. Please see my Priceline win.

I continued bidding up from $150 for 3.5*+ for the following zones: UES, MTW, TS, MTE, CPS and was finally successful at $200. Got the Renaissance Hotel 57 which I am very happy with based on the location and reviews, plus it is actually a 4* even though my bid included 3.5* hotels. Thanks for the help.

yep, I am including 3.5* hotels and I am already north of $190 without success... seems like this is a very popular weekend to visit NYC! Out of curiousity, where are you visiting from? Are you flying to NYC?

UES & MTE are my first choices, I bid up to $178 for 3.5*+ for the following zones: UES, MTW, TS, MTE, CPS and was rejected. I guess I could add ESB, but if I end up in the southern portion of this zone, it is pretty far... Basically, the goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay within these zones. Obviously 4* is preferable, but doesn't look like it is achievable under $200. What star rating is the Hudson Hotel? Not too concerned if that is what we end up with, but seems like there may be better options. Thanks for all your help!

very similar to my request on this board (can't paste link for some reason). Seems like it will be over $200/night +taxes and fees. I am just staying Friday and Sat night and Sun/Monday looks a lot cheaper, so a longer stay should bring down your average cost/night.

I checked with the wife and definitely the closer the better. No subway. Willing to add Midtown West and Times Square and Central Park South, but don't want to go further than that. OK with $175-$200, but don't think I can go less than 3.5*.

The Express deals or hotwire are showing around $220/night, so I would want less than that, maybe up to $175. Do you think prices will go up further or may go down closer to the time? What other zones would you suggest adding. I have seen lots of other winning bids for these zones at the same star rating go for this rate, but on different dates. P.S. any discounts for express rate hotels? 10% off $220 would be tempting...

Looking for help bidding on a hotel on Priceline for NYC May 16-18, 2014 for me and my wife. We will be in town for a friend's wedding which is in the upper east side (E 65th Ave and Park Ave) and want a hotel fairly close. We won't have much time for touring around this trip, but my wife would also like a few hours to shop and maybe catch a show in the evening. I bid on 3.5 * + in Midtown East and Upper East Side at $150 + taxes and fees and did not have any luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just successfully bidded for this hotel $55/ night for 2 nights. I was going to bid $50, but got a warning saying that bid was way too low, so I bid $55 and it was accepted right away... Wish I would have stuck with $50... who knows! Thanks, great site, first successful bid on priceline! and yes, I did use the PRICELINE links at the top of your page.
