Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

170 per night avg

Do you need to be in this particular area only? I ask because bidding for a four star in this area is largely only trying for one hotel - the Empire - which may or may not have any PRICELINE inventory for these dates. Opening up to other zones may increase the odds and possibly result in a lower price for a comparable hotel. If you were to bid for a 4* in USW for these dates, I'd start at $125 and work higher by $5's.

thats exactly the hotel im trying for . ive gotten it for 161 last dec 19 -26 and also in may at 164 . maybe prices have increased ?

NYC prices are generally higher this year vs. last year, but rates for these dates are not that expensive. However, you're bidding for a one week stay, and if even just one nite of these dates has no PRICELINE availability then it's impossible for your win to get accepted.

It's not clear from your post... have you already tried bidding? I do see 4* hotels in other (well located) parts of the city for less than $170/nite, are you open to other areas only want to try to target the Empire hotel?

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

i am trying to book the empire only at this time . ive stayed there twice as its close to all my activities there . i began bidding over a month ago . i saw some winning bids at 200 for uws but was trying to stay well below that and to spend the savings on an upgrade . ill just stay patient . i currently have a pay when u stay reserved at the time hotel for 161 . ive stayed there before and its not to bad . my best memories are at the empire though .

4* central park 12/19 to 12/26

can anyone tell me if this hotel would be the empire or on the ave ? i would be dissappointed with on the ave. ive seen posts recently stating its the empire . but could it be different for my dates ? ive bid up to 175 on priceline for upper west side 4 *. im aware that could only be the empire on priceline . its listed for 133 on hotwire for the same dates .

the amenities for the empire and on the ave are the same . thats why i cant figure which one . the amenities listed on HOTWIRE are boutique,non smoke, fitness,buisness center and internet. its now again listed for 133.00. the on the ave is listed for 138 on PRICELINE regular buys . the empire is listed for 192.

[AaronJB]

Unfortunately, this would appear to be On the Ave.

Are there any other areas you would be interested in staying?
