Priceline Hotel: 3* NYC (Chelsea) Four Points Manhattan Chelsea

[Thespian]

I bid $89 on a 2.5* in Chelsea and was upgraded to the 3* Four Points at 160 West 25th. Reviews on TripAdvisor are mixed, but most are very good or excellent. Total for 2 nights was $222 including $44 in taxes and fees. Lowest rate on the hotel's website for these dates is $199, so I got it for less than half price - a first for me in NYC.

I got this on the first bid, so I don't know if I could have had it for less... but as Hotwire has a 3* in Chelsea/MSG (possibly the same property) for $99, I think my $89 was about right.

I'm not thrilled with the upgrade, as I was hoping for a Holiday Inn Express or a Hampton Inn, both of which include breakfast. But I don't think I'd better complain too loudly... after all, I got a name-known NYC hotel for $89 in December. The location is great: a block from a Whole Foods and two blocks from the 7th Avenue subway.

I used the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links from BetterBidding for all my searches as well as my purchase.

Congrats on your success. :)

Sorry to hear that it wasn't what you'd hoped for, but certainly a fantastic deal for NYC in the busy NYC period.

Thank you for sharing your win and for using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.
