vrod2003 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Heading to NYC Feb 15th - 20th. Looking for a 4* hotel and trying to stay around $115 + taxes. Would like to stay in Central Park South, Upper West Side, Midtown West, or Times Square. Am I dreaming at this rate? I may also consider changing dates to the 16-20th as I read that might get me a better rate. Any advice is appreciated.thanks.Vrod
vrod2003 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Posted January 6, 2011 Also I am traveling with my wife and her brother. How stingy are NYC hotels on having 3 instead of 2 people in the room. Not really wanting to pay more as I dont care if my brother in law has to sleep on the floor or couch! :)
thereuare Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Using PRICELINE for more than double occupancy can be risky in NYC as there are a high percentage of rooms which only contain one bed and little/no room for a rollaway. As well, many hotels consider rooms with two beds an upgrade and not the 'standard' room you are due to receive with a PRICELINE or HOTWIRE booking.It's a risk... a safer option would be to use HOTWIRE and search for triple occupancy, but rates often go up when searching for more than double occupancy in NYC.Let us know if/how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

vrod2003 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 I searched for 3 occupancy instead of 2 and the rates went up significantly. I'm thinking the freeloader can go ahead and sleep on the floor. I'm seeing a Botique Central Park area hotel on hotwire for $139 and an Empire State building area for $147 night. Not really in to botique hotels as in the past that has meant extra small rooms for me. I've tried a couple times, using the PRICELINE link, on priceline but have had no luck up to $115 night for the Central Park South, Upper West Side, Midtown West, or Times Square areas with no luck. any suggestions? thanks.
vrod2003 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 After trying PRICELINE and HOTWIRE to no success I tried On the Ave by referral of a friend. Got a really nice deal - half off. Spent more than I wanted but I think I got a really nice room for the rate - $200 for the Penthouse Suite. Thanks for your help. I will continue to use your links in the future.
