uk_dan Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Hi,Four of us (two couples) are looking for accommodation in New York City from Saturday 27th November to Friday 3rd December this year (i.e. 6 nights).We would like to stay in a good area in ideally a minimum 4* hotel. We have looked at loads of hotels, apartments and bed and breakfasts but are struggling trying to find a good deal so we though we'd take a chance with PRICELINE.This is the first time we will have ever used PRICELINE before so we could really do with some advice on how to get a good deal for our dates.In terms of prices obviously we would like to get the best deal possible so any advice or a strategy would be very much appreciated.Many thanks,Dan
AaronJB Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)This period tends to be expensive because it's the peak period of holiday shopping and holiday festivities. What would be your desired max budget per room/per night, and which areas would you be interested in bidding for?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
