Priceline Hotel: NYC 10/29 - as far down as 2* possibly

[Crump's Brother]

what's the lowest you all think i can get a room for cheaper than $100 after taxes in NYC? probably open to all zones in Manhattan...never been in queens bridge zone so i don't know how it is, open to downtown brooklyn but no coney island, and probably open to LIC

anyone familiar with onstreet parking? would like to park for free if able to since a parking garage will be around $40ish at cheapest

"we seek meager accomodations"

just need a spot to crash at after going to bars...were supposed to stay at someones apartment in NJ but that fell through

only want the place to be be clean and bed bug free but i know those cannot be guaranteed before committing to paying

Welcome to BetterBidding!

$100 all-in is equivalent to ~$82 price, which may be tough in Manhattan this time of year at any star level. If available, are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is the goal the least expensive 2* hotel in the zones you specify?

Let us know which zone(s), by PRICELINE name, you're willing to accept and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

looking to spend around $120 total including parking cost

parking looks like it'll be around $40 at cheapest in a garage so if able to park on the street it would be more realistic to find a place to stay in my specified price range

never parked on the street in NYC and i'm a bit leery of doing so 'cause i'm always afraid i would get a ticket or a boot thrown on my tire

i would say i'm willing to accept all zones in Manhattan, as well a downtown brooklyn, and probably long island city as well

wouldn't really be willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel...really just trying to go the cheapest route possible, especially since we're only going to be in the room to sleep and that's it

The Port Authority offers parking for about $30/day... you can probably get cheaper parking if you shop it around and depending upon how far you're willing to walk/take mass transit to/from your car.

so if able to park on the street it would be more realistic to find a place to stay in my specified price range

Since you won't know if you'll be able (or willing) to park on the street until you arrive, how do you intend to play this?

i would say i'm willing to accept all zones in Manhattan, as well a downtown brooklyn, and probably long island city as well

Should we include LIC in a bidding strategy or not?
