Priceline Hotel: 4* Manhattan

[Joachim Schmidt]

Hi!

I have read the welcome message!

I need your advice!

I am looking for a room for me and my girlfriend from 4/30 - 5/6, willing to pay up to $150 per night all-in.

We are hoping to get a 4* Hotel in a safe area on manhattan.

This is our first visit to NY so we don't really know the areas but i have made this area-list:

Madison Square Garden - Convention Area

Midtown East

Midtown West

Times Square - Theatre District

If the price in these areas are unrealistic maybe also:

Chelsea Area

Empire State Building Area

Downtown - SoHo - Financial District

Queensborough Bridge

Could you help me make a strategy for bidding?

Best regards Joachim - Denmark

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

$150 a night "all-in" would be approximately a $122-125 bid a night. Unfortunately, the Spring season is one of the busier times of the year in NYC, and based upon the rates that I'm seeing, a 4* at $125 is worth trying for in Midtown (Chelsea, MTE, MTW, TS, ESB, CPS) but would seem unlikely to be accepted based on the rates I'm seeing.

A 3.5* may also prove difficult at the $125 level in the above zones, although I would caution that the 3.5* level in MTE does have a couple of hotels that are rather far East in Midtown East and the 3.5* level in CPS does have the possibility of the Hudson, which has rather tiny rooms (even for NYC.)

I wouldn't recommend Downtown/Soho/Financial District until other choices have been exhausted, and I wouldn't recommend Queensboro Bridge.

I agree that $150 all-in is probably not realistic for a 4* hotel within Manhattan (and there are no 4* hotels offered in the Queensboro Bridge zone).

What is the best deal you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for these dates?
