danyulsun Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Hi,It's my wife's 30th birthday and also our first wedding anniversary and I'm planning on taking her to NYC to stay in Manhatten from the 11th to the 14th of August.I'd like to stay in Midtown East/West, Times Square, Empire state Area, Madison Square at a 4+ hotel. Could you advise me on my best course of action to get the best deal?Thanks a million, I really appreciate it!Dan
thereuare Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding and congratulations on your upcoming anniversary :)For a 4* hotel in the zones you're seeking i'm guessing you're looking at ~$170-$195/nite... is this within your expected budget/maximum bid? Please confirm 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.

danyulsun Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Posted August 4, 2011 Hi Thereuare,Will these prices go up closer to the dates?Sorry to pester but we've had some hard family issues of late and so this was all a last minute surprise for my wife and I'm getting anxious as I've only got a week!Many thanks,Dan
