Pmalli Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Hello,We are visiting NYC from Nov. 4th to 7th for the first time. We have booked our flight but don't have a hotel yet. We are looking to spend $200 - $225 per night. Can anyone offer some bidding strategies?Thank you!Pav
AaronJB Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Are any other zones acceptable (if so, which?), or are you primarily looking to bid for TS?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Pmalli Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Posted October 26, 2011 Yes, other zones are acceptable as long as they are close to transportation (subway, etc). Midtown westmidtown eastcentral park south.Thanks!
thereuare Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I would also consider/suggest including ESB in your accepted zones... this area is generally considered centrally located and often represents some pretty good value, and there dates are likely going to be fairly expensive (if you're not aware, the NYC Marathon is on Sunday, Nov 6th)At the moment i'm guessing a 4* hotel will likely cost approximtately $250/nite... is this within the budget you were anticipating?Let us know your maximum bid for this stay and if you'd like to include ESB or not, 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.

Pmalli Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Posted October 27, 2011 Yes, I can include ESB as well. The maximum I would like to spend is $225 per night. Do you think it is possible? I would appreciate any bidding strategies. Thank you so much :)
thereuare Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 As noted above i think approximately $250 would be necessary for this stay, so $225 is within the range, but at the low end of the 'about $250' range.
