Priceline Hotel: 3.5* NYC (CPS) Hudson Hotel

[masenheym]

Hello,

For me is Priceline new but I read everything very carefully, but the next question do I have.

Yesterday I made some bids. Today I make the same bids but I start with higher price. When my bid is rejected is says:

Duplicate request

We were not able to process this request since our records indicate you have already made a request for this same trip. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number .......

We'd be happy to try your request again if you can do any one of the following:

Change your dates of stay

Select a different hotel quality star level

Add more areas in which you'd be willing to stay

What does this mean, do these bid count or do I have to wait for 24 hours?

Another question I have is how many bids can I do in one session? Is there a maximum?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello,

Today I tried again.

For example:

*3.5 TS

*3.5 CI

*3.5 LI

*3.5 MS

*3.5 MTE

*3.5 CPS

After this bid I tried the next serial

*3.5 MTE

*3.5 CI

*3.5 LI

*3.5 TS

*3.5 CPS

*3.5 MS

After the first bid it immidiately says duplicate request?

Why is this?

This is a different bidding than the first one or am I wrong?

I receive e-mails of priceline with the history, but I have the feeling that this is not a serious bid.

Who can give me an advice.

I search for a hotel for 5 nights between november 22nd till november 27th. I'm interested in a hotel with at least 3 stars, the budget is more or less $ 150- $160. The regions are:

Central park south, Soho, Empire state building, Hells kitchen, Madison square, MTE, MTW, TS

Please help me.....

Hello,

I won last week for $150 a night for 3.5* (Hudson).

The way I made it was the next one

$90 Times Square

$100 Coney Island

$110 Long Island

$120 Midtown east

$130 Central Park south

$140 Madison square

$150 ???

It took me a couple of days but I'm satisfied!

Good luck!

Congratulations on your success!

Looks like a nice deal for this area and time of year... thank you for sharing your results with the board.

If you're not familiar with this property, it generally gets very good reviews except for having notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... so go expecting a tiny room and the rest of your stay should go well.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.
