llh58 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 We plan on coming to NYC Oct. 15-Oct. 18. Is it too early to look for a hotel? It is my 5th trip and my husbands 1st. Would like to stay in Midtown or Central Park area. Very flexible, just dont want to stay around Wall Street. Thank you!

llh58 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 3.5 star or 4 star. Bidding zones are ESB, MTE, MTW, MSG, TS. Thank you!
thereuare Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Based upon currently rates i don't think $165 (which comes to about $200 after fees and taxes) will be enough for a 3.5* or better for this stay. However, do you wan to first try for a 4* up to your limit before including 3.5* in your bidding... or is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?Also, at the 4* level is there a reason you're not including CPS in your bidding? At the 3.5* i see you're including MTE in your bidding... do note that some of the hotels in this zone can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway... is this acceptable?Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

llh58 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 May we remove MTE and put in CPS? I would like to try the 4* first and then the 3.5*. I would like to stick to the $200 limit unless you dont think that I can get that, then going higher is fine.
thereuare Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 May we remove MTE and put in CPS? I would like to try the 4* first and then the 3.5*.At the 4* level MTE and CPS should both work out fine... all 'known' hotels at the 4* level in each zone are 'good' and centrally located.However, each has their own issues at the 3.5* level:MTE - hotels can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subwayCPS - contains the Hudson Hotel with notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)At 4* do you wan to include both zones?At 3.5* do you want to include/exclude either or both zones?Please confirm and we'll suggest a strategy to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

llh58 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 Great idea! take MTE and CPS out altogether........thank you!
thereuare Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Great idea! take MTE and CPS out altogether........thank you!That's at the 3.5* level, correct? Did you want to include both at the 4* level? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
llh58 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Posted July 20, 2011 No I dont want them at 4* star level either...
