benficafan Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Hey guys, I'm planning a trip to New York in September with a max budget of $150/night. I have no real preference for location as long as it's close to public transport/attractions. Is $150/night reasonable? any bidding strategies and/or recommended locations? Thanks in advance.
thereuare Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!The United Nations is in session during these dates and rates in NYC are very expensive, that based upon current rates i think $150 or a 3* or better hotel is going to be difficult.If you want to give it a try, please confirm:MTE - has some hotels which are up to a 15 minute walk to the subway, is this acceptable?CPS - has the Hudson Hotel which is centrally located, but has notoriously small rooms... would this be 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.

benficafan Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks for the reply. a 15 minute walk to the subway is not a problem and the small rooms, although not preferable, are okay. After some research, i was unable to find which meetings you were referring to...in any case i will definitely use the provided links and keep you posted.
thereuare Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 It's the "General Assembly of the United Nations".Assuming CPS, Cheslea, DT, ESB, HK, MSG, MTE, MTW and TS are all acceptable, i would try as follows:At the 3* level you have ONE re-bid zone.
