Priceline Hotel: NYC 12/8-13/10

[toliverair]

I am planning a trip for 8 adults and would love some knowledgeable information on how to proceed with the bidding process. We would prefer to stay in Times Square or as close as possible for 150 to 200 per night. We need a total of 4 rooms and would prefer a 3.5 to 4 star if possible....is this too much to ask?

Ok I've read all the posts beneath and realize this is next to impossible. Does anyone know of something besides priceline for a good back up plan?

Any back-up plan will likely cost your much more than $200... are you willing to pay more or are you looking for an alternative outside of Manhattan where you could commute in?

You may be able to get a 3* for about $200.

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

We are not quite ready to commute in as of yet. We are willing to pay up to 250 per night to stay close to mid-town. We could drop the star level to a three but would prefer a 3.5 unless the propertynwas exceptional. We have stayed at the millennium broadway before and really liked it.

Do you know what hotel the 2* in Central Park is?

Thanks for your help! :)

2* has fitness center, resturant, business center.

So I check the list in the forum it might be

Maybe you could try HOTWIRE, if you like it

The issue with these dates is that they fall right upon the peak of the holiday shopping/festivities season and rates are quite high - are other zones acceptable (if so, which?) or are you primarily interested in staying in TS?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

We were able to go through Starwood hotels and got a great rate of 168 per night at the new hotel, The Element, in Times Square. It was a very nice hotel with an awesome breakfast!

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision.

Glad you enjoyed your stay and this new Starwood brand.
