tdo1977 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 Coming into town Sat 10/22 and out on 10/25. I see MTE 4* available on Hotwire for $246. Looking for somewhere more central, MTE seems to be business centric. Interested in Times Square, Central Park, MTW, maybe SoHo. Looking for a nice 3-day break with my GF.Interested in a bidding strategy on Priceline for a great location, hoping for 4* for under 250/nt. Please help.
thereuare Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Interested in Times Square, Central Park, MTW, maybe SoHo.Few points of clarification...To confirm, do you mean Central Park South?Note that if you decide to also try for the Soho area, this is part of the larger Dowtown-Soho-Financial District zone... you can't bid for just the Soho section of this zone and would need to be willing to accept a hotel anywhere within the shaded boundaries of the zone.I'd also state that while MTE does have its fair share of business, it does also have a fair amount of residential space along Third Ave (the middle of the zone) and further east which results in a nice number of restaurants, bars, etc to serve the community. It's ultimately you're decision if this zone would work for your needs or not, but MTE is generally considered centrally located by most users.Please confirm the zones you're willing to accept, by PRICELINE name, 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.

tdo1977 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks for that feedback. I booked 4* MTE - Intercontinental off Hotwire @ $246/nt. Amenities listed were Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center and Hi Speed Internet.Great site, I was always nervous about the un-named hotels on Hotwire - this makes things much easier. I have already recommended to people at work to use this service.
