Hello, tks for being so fast...

Well, I would like to stay at MTW, Time Square ou MSG area

I don't have a star preference, so I am looking from 2.5 till 3.5 star.

I saw a few winning bids from 98 bucks a night...I tryed 100, 105, 110...no luck!!!!

any sugestions?

Thanks a lot!

At what star rating and for how high have you already bid?

Unfortunately, I think it's going to take a higher bid to win a hotel in Midtown for these dates - possibly at least $135-150 on average, with the September portion of the stay appearing more expensive than the late August portion. Are you interested in any other zones, or just MSG/MTW/TS?

If you're considering splitting your stay give this thread a read to learn some of the pros/cons in doing so: SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID

If you want to continue with bidding the nites as a complete stay, as noted above, i suspect you'll likely need to increase your maximum bid. What is your maximum bid? What is the best rate you're able to find at a suitable hotel thru conventional booking channels?

Lastly, if you're able, i'd suggest trying to stick with 3* and higher hotels in NYC... while there may be some 2.5* hotels you're comfortable with, there may be others which you are not, and with PRICELINE / HOTWIRE you can't choose which type you will get.
