Priceline Hotel: 3* NYC (CPS) Holiday Inn Midtown 57th St.

[mcallen]

Hey all,

I could use some help here. :)

I'm looking for a hotel (3, 3.5, or 4 *) for any of these areas...

Chelsea

ESB

MSG

MTW

TS

If these don't work, I'd be willing to add Downtown-Soho

My maximum bid price is $125 per night.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Matt

Did you want to try for a 4* first up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5*, then if rejected try for a 3*... OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better in any of these zones?

Let us know which way you'd like to play this and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Hi

Let's first try 3.5* or better at least expensive price.

I'll try that and if i'm rejected i'll then try immediately afterwards for a 3*.

If you can do that for me in the same thread, it would help a lot. :) thanks so much!

If you lower your star rating from 3.5* to 3* you can bid again without any issue since you're lowering your star rating... one of the ways you can bid again inside of the 24 hour lock-out period is by lowering your star rating, which you're doing, so simply by lowering your star rating you're within the guidelines to bid again with the same account.

Ok - sounds great. I just clicked the link 2x.

When I bid with your strategy for 3*, should I just use the exact same strategy that you give me for the 3.5* , but add the 3* rating?

Hopefully the 3.5* strategy will be all I need though, and we get a hotel with that. :)

I'd like to get this today if possible.

Thanks again!!

Thanks for the help! I was able to get a 3* for $127 in CPS (Holiday Inn Hotel New York City-Midtown-57th St)

I used your PRICELINE link too.

Thanks,
