Priceline Hotel: NYC 3/3.5*, 17/04 for four nights - advice please?

[Quinlad]

Hello,

Looking for bidding advice please for two 4-star rooms in CPS, Chelsea, Empire State, MSG, ME, MW or Times Square.

It's for four nights 17/18/19/20 April (the week leading up to Easter weekend - probably doesn't help).

We'd like to pay under $160 per room per night.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks!

Have replied to previous thread now. We didn't pursue the last bid due to illness. Sorry for not updating.

Can you help with this request?

I'm doubtful that $160 will be enough for a 4* hotel, but to give it a try...

At the 4* level you have FIVE 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.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice. No joy unfortunately! :)

I'd be happy with 3 or 3.5* as well. Although my upper limit is more like $145 (had forgotten about tax).

Can you give me some advice on a strategy for 3/3.5?

Thanks!

Based upon current prices i don't think that $145 is going to be do-able for a 3* or better.

Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

At the moment HOTWIRE has a 3.5* in the MTC zone for 4/17-4/19 for just $112/nite... you coudl then take the $30 savings per nite and add it to the last to nites of your stay (making your maximum bid for these nites $175/nite)... although i'll add that even $175 may be tough for these last two nites, which are more expensive then the first two nites.

Alternately, you could stay downtown for the complete stay for ~$115/nite... or take the MTC property above and then stay Downtown for the last two nites at $110/nite.

Your thoughts?
