ham1127 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Great site- so helpful!! Possible last minute trip if we can get a great deal through priceline on a room. 2 nightgs 7/3-5. 3 of us traveling, I understand we might just get 1 bed but we'll take our chances. Is is possible to get a 4* under $200 per night? Looking to be in central location and close to subway as we are doing typical touristy stuff and Macy's fireworks. Wanting following areas: Midtown East, Midtown West Central Park South, Chelsea area, Upper East Side, Upper West Side.Thanks in advance!
thereuare Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Rates for these nites are low so your budget should not be an issue.However, quick comment on your zones...Note that there are no 4* hotels offered in the UES zone, so that isn't an option for 4* bidding.You've also excluded Times Square and ESB, both of which typically work well for the average user, let us know if you'd like us to include this in your bidding or not... both of these zones have very low rates on HOTWIRE so these may be zones to consider if you're looking for the best deal/value possible.Please confirm your zone choices 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.
