Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (Downtown-Soho-Financial District) Marriott Financial Center

[dzzz]

Hi. Any suggestions/strategy for something on Manhattan for 2 nights? Anywhere probably except UES & UWS. Everything seems really expensive. I'd like to spend <$450 total after taxes.

possible? thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please start by reading your messages.

To avoid any confusion, please list your maximum bid (per room per nite... before taxes and fees), your desired star rating, and the zones, by PRICELINE name, you're willing to accept (rather then the zones you won't accept) 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.

Well partial success. :) I couldn't find anything in my budget ($200) when bidding on both dates together. I had tried 3* @$200 in all areas in manhattan except UWS and UES with no luck.

So I tried separating the dates and got the 4* Marriott New York Downtown for $200 on 5/16. This is listed in the hotel list as 3.5* Marriott Financial Center. Is there a newer list somewhere? Anyway, it looks pretty nice and is close to transportation.

Second night is still up in the air. I'm loving this board and all the information!

Thank you for sharing your result with the board!

Also thanx for reporting this new star rating to the BetterBidding Priceline Hotel List

Enjoy your stay.

This is listed in the hotel list as 3.5* Marriott Financial Center. Is there a newer list somewhere?

We update the hotel lists as soon as we got a report of a change that has been made.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.

PS. If you need any help with your second night so please start a new topic.

Oh glad to hear that list is up to date. I looked at the post date and it said 2003! :) so I wasn't sure how often it got updated. It might be nice to have the last update date at the top or something so people know.

Also, the name of the hotel has changed so you might also want to change it to Marriott New York Downtown to avoid confusion for other newcomers.

Thanks again! Great work keeping the site going!
