EmilieG Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 HelloI am going to NYC with a friend from June 11th to 18th and we are looking for one room in Manhattan. We have a limited budget but would like to stay somewhere nice (and clean!).Ideally we would like a 4* hotel for a maximum of $150-160 per night including taxes and fees in CPS, Chelsea, MTE, MTW or UWS. Do you think this is realistic or should we review our star rating or budget?I had a look at the tips on the forum but I am new to bidding for hotel rooms so any advice on the best strategy would be much appreciated!I will be using the hotwire and PRICELINE links on this site :) Thank you very much!Emilie
thereuare Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!$150 all-in is equivalent to about a $125 bid, and based upon current rates that is not very likely to be enough for a 4* on these dates. If you want to give it a try you can bid as follows:At the 4* level in NYC you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* CPS, Chelsea, MTE, MTW and UWS...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
