TEXDDS Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Hello all. I am new to this forum but not new to hotwire or priceline. I worked for priceline in 2000 back when you could name your own price for groceries. I am looking for a 4* hotel in NYC for around 200 per night. I will be in the city from Sep 15-19. I am willing to stay in any zone on Manhattan but dont want to be in a hotel too far from mass transit (subway station). How should I organize my bidding to get a place. I would be willing to go up to $275 per night for a 4 star and would be willing to do 3.5 stars also but for less money.Any advice on a bidding on priceline or hotels on hotwire would be greatThank You
thereuare Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!I am willing to stay in any zone on Manhattan but dont want to be in a hotel too far from mass transit (subway station).At the 4* level MTE, MTW, CPS, TS and ESB are all centrally located. Downtown is usually close to a subway but it take some time to get to midtown... Chelsea, UWS, and HK all depend upon where in the zone you end up. Let us know which zones you're willing to accept and we'll advise accordingly, although i will add that at first glance i think your budget will likely fall a bit short.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

TEXDDS Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Posted August 31, 2011 The zones MTE, MTW, CPS, TS and ESB will all work great for me. Should I also consider the MSG area (are the hotels there near public transit)? I would also stay downtown but I would perfer a more central location. Also, would you advise I split my bid? If so how should I split? I am willing to change hotels half way through the stay but would like to first try staying the entire time in the same hotelThanks for the help
thereuare Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Should I also consider the MSG area...There are no 4* hotels offered in this zone, so it's not one to consider unless you decide to lower your star rating for future bidding.At the 4* level you have FIVE re-bid zones.
