Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTE) Grand Hyatt

[Aaron TC]

I am traveling to NYC Dec 3 - 6. What should I bid on priceline to get a 3 or 4 star hotel? And what part of town should I choose?

Will 200 be enough?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please start by reading your messages.

And what part of town should I choose?

What are your plans for this trip?

Will 200 be enough?

Possibly in the Downtown zone, but that is usually not the most ideal location for most users, but most likely not.

Once we know your plans we'll be able to best advise regarding zones and discuss your options from there.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

These are particularly expensive dates - especially the 3rd/4th. $200 would not be enough for a 4* and would not likely be enough for a 3.5*. Is $200 your max budget per night for this stay?

Are you familiar with the city? Are there particular zones you would be interested in bidding for?

Yes familiar with the city. Have stayed in midtown east several times the Murray Hill area. My trip is booked so I will go as high as needed. 250 275 whatever it's most important that the hotel is nice. So if the location is random that's fine cause it's easy to heh around and I don't have to be in a particular area. So please advise on a nice hotel in any zone at my price. Thanks

...it's most important that the hotel is nice.

So what is the minimum star rating you're willing to accept?

[Aaron TC]

3 star minimum. What zone should I try to get 3 star for 250 - 275?

[thereuare]

I'd suggest bidding all acceptable zones and having the one with the least expensive rate be the one to accept your bid.

If you let us know, by PRICELINE name, which zones are acceptable we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

I was able to get Grand Hyatt at 200 per night. 2 weeks ago I was getting denied at 250 3 star. Now I was able to get 4 star for 200.

Congrats on your success. :)

Glad to hear that waiting paid off - excellent deal for a busy weekend.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.
