Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTW) Warwick

[klouwer]

Hi all,

I have been bidding (and using the right link :) for a Hotel in New York City from March 21st until 29th 2011.

I have been up to 125$ for a 4* and 115 for a 3,5* and till now no success.

I also tried 125$ 4* for just the weekdays monday/friday also with no success.

Preferably in one of the following area's:

Mid-town East

Mid-town West

Central Park South

And as 2nd:

Upper-west Side

Times Square

Hell's kitchen

I am also willing to split the weekend, so 5 days and 3 days over the weekend in a different hotel (and also different area) Soho, FD i.e

Please advise, should I wait longer?

Any interest in the ESB zone? HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel for $137/nite with Fitness, Restaurant, Business, Internet and a 4.0/5.0 Tripadvisor rating... this matches previous reports for the St Giles The Court and that would be my best guess for this one.

Alternately HOTWIRE has a 3.5* hotel in the MTE zone with the same amenities as above for $125/nite and a 3.5/5.0 Tripadvisor rating... my best guess(es) in order of likelihood are the Roosevelt, Doubletree Metropolitan, and Hilton Manhattan East.

Each are only a few dollars more than you have already bid and wouldn't require you to change hotels mid-stay.

Are any of these of interest?

Thanks for the reply. The St Giles The Court Looks good. The other two are so so.

But before going with 137$ a night I think I will try this amount again using PRICELINE 4*

How about waiting longer? probably not a good idea with NYC?

If you let us know which zones you're willing to accept we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

See the related 'bid early or close to check-in' thread in our PRICELINE FAQ. While not a terribly busy time in NYC, things do usually begin to pick up a a few weeks after this, and there is no telling if the spring 'season' will kick in a little early or later than usual. I think ~$135 is a pretty good price for a 4* hotel in NYC so i would probably be more inclined to lock-in the above considering this is for an eight nite stay.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Ok, tried another PRICELINE bid, (used your link) because HOTWIRE was now on 152$ for the 4*

I eventually bid 140$ a night for 8 night stay. I got the Warwick New York 4* I checked the Warwick website, saved me a 1000$ with the hotel.

I'm not totally happy with my win, but I guess it is ok, Location's good anyway.

Thank you for you help

Do you guys think I can try the 20$ trick at this hotel?

Congrats on your success. :)

Sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the result, but a very nice deal for this well-located and historic NYC property. You could call and see if upgrades are available, but given that this is a PRICELINE reservation, the hotel could definitely say no. If not, you can try again at check-in.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.
