Priceline Hotel: Looking for Hotel NYC 12/30-1/2

[Dillsnik]

I'm looking for a room somewhere in nyc checking in on 12/30 checking out on 1/2. As this is i'm sure one of the most busy weekends to stay in Manhattan, some advice would be appreciated.

I'd actually prefer to be close-ish to MSG, as this will be a destination for all three nights, but if the deal is right i don't mind staying somewhere else if it saves a few bucks.

It's kind of overwhelming with all the zones and options...i'm not really sure what $$ number to start the bidding at and which zones to include or not include

I do understand the technique of zone adding the way it's been explained, so i don't need an indepth analysis on that topic, but still a bit overwhelmed on the whole thing....

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! I've already made a few priceline bids using the links from the board, but no luck so far.

So far i have bid up to 160 for a 3.5 star hotel in the areas of:

CPS, CA, ESBA, HK, MSG, MW, TS, UWS - I left out UE based on how far some had said it can be to walk to a subway.

I also left out the DSFD area b/c it seems like it is so far from anything that it's not worth to stay there, although i worry that's where the best deals are

The problem with these dates is NYE, which is an incredibly busy night in NYC; many hotels are sold out or have limited ability (and are probably not discounting heavily, due to the possibility of walk-ins.) The previous day and day after also may be a bit busy with people either coming in early or staying late.

What would be your desired max budget per night?

Well, i have a room held at clubquarters on wall st. now for about 200 per night. i think i'd prefer to be closer to midtown, but i guess that is about my budget...200 per night

bump for any advice...

At current prices your budget is not likely enough for a 3.5* or better in midtown for these nites.
