Priceline Hotel: 3.5* New York City (Times Square - Theatre District) Doubletree Suites By Hilton Nyc Times Square

[cypolo]

Hi guys, I just won a bid of 3.5 Star [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton NYC Times Square] in NYC - Time Square-Theatre District area for $155.

I started at $130 and add $5 each time while adding areas (including CPS, ESB, MTE&W and Times Square), and succeed at $155.

( 2 Rooms for 3 Nights, so the Subtotal is $1133 within Tax)

I am really satisfied with the location (since I am a foreign student here and will travel with my parents, it's easy to get on the Tour Bus in this area right?)

but I'm still wondering how's the price for a 3.5* for this area & time? And if I bid too early? (for 4/29 - 5/2)

Congratulations on your success!

A nice deal for this time of year, but if you did pay too much it would likely be due to not using an optimized bidding strategy and adding 'live' zones while you increased your bid (rather than adding 'true' re-bid zones). See Priceline Re-Bidding Explained for more information and feel free to ask questions and/or a bidding strategy before bidding on your next hotel room.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

PS- the Hop On Hop Off busses pick up all over the city, and there are a few stops directly in Times Square and very close to this hotel

I've stayed at this hotel many times for business and have always paid at least $400/night. While the bidder may not have used the best strategy, I think he/she secured an excellent hotel for travel with parents. All of the rooms at this hotel are suites which include a separate living area with a pull-out couch which will easily accomodate the student and his/her parents without being at the mercy of the hotel receptionist to get you a room with 2 beds (sometimes rare in NYC hotels). So, I think it is a great acoomodation at that rate and I would love to be able to get this hotel on priceline for $155. As for location, it is right in the heart of time square and the subway is right outside the hotel door!
