Anish Chari Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Looking for 3.5* hotel for 7 nights somewhere in Manhatten. No zones excluded. Could tolerate a 3* if it's at least clean (which I hear may not be guaranteed at this rating) - I don't care about amenities really.Suggested starting bids for this level and date?
AaronJB Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)While still on the pricey side, this is generally one of the slower periods in NYC (the slowest being now.) What would be your desired budget per night for this stay? Would you rather go for the cheapest/most reasonable 3* or push towards the max star rating for your desired budget?There are a few properties at every star level that get some mixed reviews. Many 3*'s are fine. It's once you get to 2.5* and especially 2* that quality starts to really vary.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Anish Chari Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 About $130 / night is the max, I'd like to get sub $100 if possible for a 3*.Surprised August is slow -- no summer tourists?
thereuare Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Are "all manhattan zones" really acceptable??Note that when bidding less than 4 stars:-the CPS zone has the Hudson Hotel, which while centrally located, has notoriously small rooms (~140 sq. ft.) would this be acceptable?-the MTE has some hotels which can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway, would this be acceptable?Lastly, the UWS and UES zones can go pretty far north, and are not that convenient for the average visitor, did you want to include these zones in your bidding as well?Please list, by PRICELINE name, the zone(s) you are willing to accept 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.PS- NYC is always busy, but as it can be very hot and humid in the summer, it is one of the slower times of year Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Anish Chari Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 My brother goes to Columbia, so I don't mind being on the north side.

Anish Chari Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Posted March 10, 2012 Sadly no luck with those quotes - I am quickly approaching the listed prices on this class of hotel! Is it better to wait and try again at a different month?
thereuare Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 If you can find a fully refundable back-up reservation you should book that while you continue to try PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, it's still quite early for a mid-summer stay.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.
