conkey Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, I am looking to book a 3.5 - 4* hotel in New York from April 16-21st. We are happy with any zone BESIDES CI, LIC, and MHH, with a max budget of $135. Wondering if this looks possible with our budget? First time in New York so bidding suggestions would be a great help! Thanks!
thereuare Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!To avoid any confusion, please let us know the zone(s) you are willing to accept (rather than the ones that you aren't willing to accept). Also, i'm guessing your budget may be a bit tough for these dates (but i'll look further once you confirm the zones) did you want to first try for a 4* up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5*... OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?Also note when bidding 3.5* and lower:MTE - has some hotels which can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subwayCPS - has the Hudson Hotel, which while well located, has notoriously small rooms (~140 sq. ft.)Are either/both of these acceptable?Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

conkey Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks so much for your response. We are willing to accept:BrooklynCPSChelseaDFDESBHKLESMSGMTEMTWQBSTTSTDUESUWSObviously a 4* would be great, but budget is more important, so our goal is the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay. The 15 minute walk to the subway in MTE is not a problem. Also, just looked at some reviews of the Hudson, again I think we can handle the small rooms. Private bathroom is most important! And cost!Thanks so much!

conkey Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks so much for your help. Tried all the options, and got the "Increase your bid now to $160." At the very last shot I tried $146, because I figured that would be close to the right amount (since they quoted $160). Got the Mansfield Hotel for $146 per night. Thanks for your help!
