Congratulations on your success!

While not your preferred zone, glad to see you can make this work for your plans.

Note that the strategy you used could easily result in an overbid since you're adding a 'live' zone (one which contains the star level you're bidding) at the end of the bidding cycle... when adding MTE (and MTW for that matter) it would be better to close the browser, use the board links to re-access PRICELINE, and star at a lower bid amount including each of these zones. For example, if a 4* hotel was available in MTE, you never had a shot at winning it for less then $230. Feel free to ask any questions in this regard or for a bidding strategy for your future travel plans.

Regarding this hotel, you're near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
