reciprocity Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Posted July 14, 2010 Forgot to mention:Ideal budget will be $130 per room per night. Need 3 rooms for two-nights stay from 08/17/2010 to 08/19/2010.
thereuare Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay... although based upon current rated i think your budget may be tough for anything 3.5* or higher... any only may be enough for a 3*.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

reciprocity Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Posted July 14, 2010 Hi, Thanks so much for your fast reply! I will be satisfied with any 3* upscale. Currently I am thinking about Offsoho Suite, a 2* Inn, as my backup. It doesn't have a good location, but has pretty good reviews. I got to know this one from a friend. But I still prefer staying in a better located hotel in TS, MTE, MTW, ESB, MSG. $150 probably will be my up limit.
thereuare Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 Couple of questions before suggesting a strategy...Since you're bidding the MTE zone i assume you're ok with the location of the Millenium UN (it's about a 15 minute walk to the subway)Do you also want to consider CPS (if so look at the size of the rooms at The Hudson... good hotel and location, but notoriously tiny rooms)? What about the Chelsea zone?Let us know the above reagarding the zones and we'll take it from there.

reciprocity Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Posted July 15, 2010 Thank you again for your information! The location of the Millennium UN is a probable. Even though our activities will be mostly in Manhattan (particularly in TS, MTE, ESB), we do have one senior in our family. It will be more considerate if we can have easier access to subway or bus station. The Hudson hotel seems to be fine. One full size bed should be enough for each room. No need for luxury space, since we will only stay minimum time in the hotel. THANKS again for offering help!
thereuare Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 So for now we have: TS, MTW, ESB, MSGYou didn't mention the Chelsea zone so i've included it in parenthesis below, if you want to include then bid when suggested, if not, ignore the parenthesis. At the 3* level you have ONE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* TS and MTW (and Chelsea)...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* ESB and MSG...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* ESB and MTW (and Chelsea)...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS and MSG...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS and ESB (and Chelsea)...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MTW and MSG...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS and MTW and ESB (and Chelsea)...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS and MTW and MSG...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS and MTW and ESB and MSG (and Chelsea)...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

reciprocity Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Posted July 16, 2010 Thank you so much for the suggested strategy! Just to make sure I understand the re-bid zone part. Let's say, if I want to bid for only 4* hotel, then Brooklyn will be a re-bid zone, since Priceline shows that it doesn't have any 4* hotel at all. And if I want to bid for 3* upscale, then Coney Island could be a re-bid zone, since it doesn't have any 2* above hotels. Is it correct? Thanks again for all your support! I am learning a lot from this board!!!!
reciprocity Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Posted July 16, 2010 One more question, When you say close the browser and click the PRICELINE link suggested by the board. You mean quit the browser? or just close the priceline window?A MILLION THANKS!
thereuare Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 The current PRICELINE window... other browser windows with non-priceline pages on them are not a factor.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

reciprocity Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Posted July 17, 2010 Got impatient after many days, and ended up with 3* NYC (ESB) Jolly Hotel Madison Towers at the price of $131 for 3 rooms from 8/17/10 to 8/19/10. Don't know if it's a good deal. But I guess I have nothing to complain.
