spex2004 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi,I'm looking at getting a room in NY from Sep 30th - Oct 3rd. I've tried Priceline a couple times but failed :)Looking at a decent 3* + hotel anywhere in the SoHo, Chelsea, NoHo, MTE/W area. Pretty much want to stay close to Chelsea area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks! Link to comment

thereuare Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Looking at a decent 3* + hotel anywhere in the SoHo, Chelsea, NoHo, MTE/W area.These are not the names of PRICELINE zones, and in many instances, their zone is larger then the neighborhood you've indicated, and to bid a zone you need to be willing to accept a hotel anywhere within the zone boundaries as defined by PRICELINE. Please let us know which zones you're willing to accept, by PRICELINE name, and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Thnaks.

thereuare Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Sorry, one more question...Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
