Priceline Hotel: NY Area 9/18-9/20 with kids

[mongo2001]

Hello,

Coming to NYC area for an engagement party. Looking for two rooms, one for my parents and one for my wife and my twins (2-years old). My future brother-in-law suggested the Whitestone/Bayside/LGA area, but want to keep my options open since we will be going to Manhattan at some point anyway.

Parking could be a factor.

Need advice.

My range of what I would 'like' to pay is $120-$150. Definately needs to be 3.5 and better....we are quite picky.

Thanks

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Where exactly is the engagement party and would staying in Manhattan and 'commuting out' to the engagement part be an option?

Party will be in Queens so I believe the LGA, Whitestone and Bayside may be my best bets. I can always take the train into Manhattan proper.

OK, few things to cover...

First, of the three zones, only LGA has 3.5* properties... Bayside only goes up to 2* and Flushing-Whitestone up to 3*. So do you only want to bid on the Airport LGA zone?

Second, PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy... in one room you'll be quad occupancy (including the twins). With such young children i would typically take the risk (not sure if they sleep in a pak n play, crib or bed) as long as you are prepared to handle a situation if you only receive a room with one bed.

The other option is HOTWIRE where you can search for up to quad occupancy per room, but HOTWIRE usually costs a little more then PRICELINE.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.
