Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (UWS) Empire Hotel

[yosemitemom]

I have been trying to bid for this trip for three weeks. No bites up to 200.00.

I want Times Square or CPS or Midtown East Midtown West

Can you give me a bidding strategy or advice?

Thanks so much!

At the moment $200 is not enough for a 3.5* or better for these dates... is this your maximum bid?

I'm not sure how much it will help, but it wouldn't hurt... Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

I tried splitting before, but haven't in awhile. Will try again. Thanks!

The 3* MTC would be a possible match for the Holiday Inn Midtown, while the 3.5* CP would possibly be the Bentley.

Best guess for this 4* would be the Empire Hotel.

Saw this property on Hotwire (the Empire as you said) disappear for days then reappear this evening for $209. I was excited to see it reappear.

Was getting ready to bite the bait on Hotwire and then thought I try one more bid on Priceline for the Upper West Side for 185.00 and got the Empire Hotel.

Used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link (I hope)...I had used it every time in the past two weeks, but then backed out of a previous bid right before I won this. I hope that a cookie is there, in case I forgot. I hope the board got credit.

Thanks for your help! You Rock!

BTW it also gave me the option to extend my stay.

Congrats on your success. :)

Sweet deal, and glad you were able to lock something in during a busy period in NYC.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.

I just called the hotel to confirm and they offered a $50 per night upgrade from a Standard Queen.

Thanks again

Thanks for the follow-up; glad you were able to negotiate an upgrade.
