Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* NYC Midtown Central Help Identifying

[jm473]

i'm looking for a 3.5* in Midtown East but want to avoid the Roosevelt Hotel because of all the bad reviews and potential construction. Ideally I'd like to stay at Marriot Eastside. Any tips for avoiding a hotel with Priceline? I'm looking for 1/6-1/8/2012 and have sort of been watching what other people are successful with, but it's slow going.

Thanks,

Jim

Good morning. :)

There is no way to avoid a particular property when bidding on PRICELINE - if you bid 3.5* MTE (for example), one has to be willing to accept any of the 3.5*'s in the zone (or possibly be upgraded to 4*.) HOTWIRE would be a better choice, as you could possibly make an "educated guess" as to which hotels are showing based upon the information given. What would be your desired budget per night?

Not sure on price, this weekend is very inexpensive in NYC coming after the holiday, so I think I may be successful in the $120's.

Would you be okay with the Roosevelt or would you like to avoid 3.5* in this area (and/or look at other nearby zones?)

I think I'll go 4* in Midtown East and Central Park, unless I start to hear that people have gotten the Marriot Eastside, that's a 3.5, but really a 4 in my opinion, I stayed there 3 weeks ago and it was awesome.

I searched your topics and only found a link to this hotwire hotel purchase for the Doubletree last February.

Can you please provide a link to your Marriott Eastside win.

Thanks.
