I've used Priceline twice for stays in Seattle and got the Westin once. While not my favourite downtown hotel (caters to business travelers) - it is clean and comfortable and we were treated very well and given a renovated room on a higher floor. Hope that helps.

I originally posted this in a different section of the site...and I think it was the wrong place. Anyway, I'm hoping to get some help with a bidding strategy for a 4* in the following areas: Midtown East, Midtown West, Central Park South, Empire State. This is a first trip to New York for my husband and I, and we'd like to be centrally located, but not in Times Square. Have I identified the best areas? Are there others to consider? Travel dates are May 19 - 24, 2011 and budget is $200 per night, all in. I'm okay with increasing the budget a bit if it's not realistic. Any help would be great appreciated, thanks!
