anav Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 I am looking for a 4* hotel in the times square area. There is a USD$ 207 4*Times Square deal on hotwire for what it seems to be the Crowne Plaza or the Hilton Times Square. And a USD$ 208 4 1/2 * for what I think is the Inter-Continental.Someone got the Crowne Plaza for USD 181 in PL and I would love to get the same deal. I need some help. What should be my initial bid? 181? or should I try less? What areas are safe to add that don't have any 4* hotels in them. I am using the forum's linksTIA!
thereuare Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!By the 'same deal' are you only interested in the Crowne Plaza OR is the 'same deal' the same price for a 4* hotel in the Times Square zone?Is Times Square the only zone you're interested in OR are other centrally located zones, which may have a 4* for less, be acceptable as well?When bidding 4* in NYC you have SEVEN re-bid zones, which you need to know how to determine yourself since they should be double checked before starting every cycle. See this thread, Priceline Re-Bidding Explained, for information on how to determine your re-bid zones, and feel free to confirm them with the board, or if you're confused, just post back and we'll break it down further for you.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

anav Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Posted February 12, 2012 Stated with usd $170 4* in Times Square, bid was rejectedAdded midtown east usd $181 and won the Crowne Plaza Times Square. Which is about usd $20 less per night than the hotwire offer for 4* hotel in Times Square and usd 80 less than retail. I am really happy with my purchase. Hope the information helps someone!Time to start looking for a place to celebrate the 4th of July in NYC :)
