Priceline Hotel: Help ID Brooklyn Properties

[htfaf]

Hi,

I'm trying to bid on 10/17 - 10/22 in Brooklyn. 3, 3.5, 4 star options. All have weight room, and biz center. 3.5 and 4 have restaurants and pools, 3 star does not. The pool factor seems like it should narrow things down in New york...any ideaS?

You can see all hotels reported to the board in this area in our Priceline Hotel List.

Note that when PRICELINE shows amenities it's in a different fashion then when HOTWIRE does... with HOTWIRE they're offering a specific hotel that has already been chosen based upon your search criteria, with PRICELINE no availability has been checked for your dates, the amenities shown are amenities that are offered at each hotel of that star rating. So for example, if there are FIVE 4* hotels in a zone and all five of them offer a Pool, then PRICELINE will show the pool as a 'guaranteed amenity' since all hotels of that star rating have that amenities; if only 4 out of 5 of the 4* hotels in the zone had a pool, then the Pool amenity would not be listed since it's unknown at this point which hotel you would receive, and there is a hotel in the zone which offers the possibility of no pool.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and how we can be of further help.

Oh, ok, thanks. That helps. I would love either the aloft, marriot b. bridge, or bklyn sheraton. I think I'll stay away from 3-star...if it were aloft i guess it'd be a guaranteed pool amenity. That's the only bklyn 3 star i see on the list so there must be some new ones. I saw union hotel on the hotwire list and i'm nervous that might be one. lots of really bad reviews for them out there.

Not seeing much recent bidding history for brooklyn. Any advice on where to start?

What is your maximum bid for this stay? Are you looking to stay in Brooklyn as a cheaper alternative to Manhattan or do you have plans/reason to stay in Brooklyn?

I'd like to stay under $150. Want to stay in Brooklyn.

[thereuare]

Are you willing to pay more for a 4* property vs. a 3.5* property OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?

Please confirm and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow... and please re-click each of the following PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

Thanks.

[htfaf]

I'm willing yes, but not too much over $150. $170 would probably be my absolute max

[thereuare]

I'll try to rephrase...

Did you first want to try for a 4* hotel in Brooklyn with a $150 limit OR did you want to try for a possibly less expensive 3.5* property?

Oh,my first choice would be a 3.5 star for as litle as I could spend, but if the 4 star was a small step up $ wise, then I'd of course be interested
