Hi! I need to book 2 rooms in New York City from May 14 to May 20. Preferably, I would like to stay in a central location. I can pay up to $260 excluding tax for a 4*. I tried priceline about an hour ago and went up to $250 using every area and got nothing. What strategy do you suggest I follow? I'll have to wait 24 hours to give it another shot right?

Thanks so much!!!

Exactly which zones, by PRICELINE name, did you include in your bidding?

At the 4* level in NYC you have SIX re-bid zones... did you use all six? (if you're not familiar with re-bidding see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained)

I used all of the following:

Brooklyn, Central Park South, Chelsea Area, Coney Island, Downtown-Soho-Financial District, Empire State Building Area, Hell's Kitchen, Long Island City, Madison Square Garden - Convention-Area, Midtown East, Midtown West, Queensborough Bridge, Times Square - Theatre District, Upper East Side, Upper West Side.

Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option? You could likely get the weekends dates for this trip for well under amounts you have already bid, but the mid-week dates are still going to be VERY expensive (and difficult)

Hi there, I just wanted to post an update to this thread: in the end someone else in my party ended up booking the Sheraton Brooklyn directly with the hotel. It obviously came out very expensive. I hope next time I will have enough time to discuss a Priceline strategy with you guys. Thank you.
