thereuare Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 To confirm...Are you ok with a hotel which may be a 15 minute walk from the subway? How about a hotel with notoriously small rooms?Is there a reason you're not including the MSG and/or ESB zones in your bidding?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.PS- it would be appreciated if you reply to any messages we send to you :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

thereuare Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 ok then ill be needing a hotel from 4/22-4/25 3.5* or up for all zones but FD.To avoid any confusion, please list the zones, by PRICELINE name, that you are willing to accept (rather than the zones you aren't willing to accept). Note that some of the zones which appear in this region are outside of Manhattan... are these acceptable?i'm willing to pay up to 150$ after tax.If you're looking to stay within Manhattan, this may be a tough feet as this amount to about a $125 bid price (which comes to about $150/nite after taxes and fees)Please confirm the zones and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

cousintim Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 The Marriott Eastside is a historic hotel that has been updated. The rooms are a little small by Marriott standards but not by New York City standards.
