Priceline Hotel: 2.5*-3* - 4 nights - 2 rooms - NYC - 04/28 to 05/02

[galok]

Thank you for this very helpful forum!

We need two rooms (4 Adults 2 Kids) from 4/28/11 - 05/02/11 (4 nights). My preferred districts is TS. Do you think it's realistic to win a 2.5* or 3* Hotel for $70 limit per room (excluding tax) at this time? I tried one time but no success.

Thanks in Anticipation!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

You've got a few issues with this stay...

First, PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. This is especially risky in NYC where many rooms only contain one bed (and have little/no room for a rollaway) and rooms with two beds are often considered an upgrade and cost more than standard rooms. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Is this a risk you're willing to accept? If not, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

As far as your budget is concerned, it's not realistic for a midtown hotel this time of year in NYC.

Based upon the occupancy issue above let us know how you'd like to proceed.
