rback Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Well, after trying for a couple weeks, I finally got a win for a 4* hotel in mid-town NYC.70 Park Avenue, A Kimpton Hotel 4 stars Empire State Building Area 70 Park Avenue At 38Th Street, New York, NY 10016Check-In: Mon, Jul 9, 2012 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out: Sat, Jul 14, 2012 / 12:00 PM Rooms: 1 room / 5 nightsI was looking in primarily these zones:Chelsea Area (CH)Empire State Building Area (ESB)Midtown East (MTE)Midtown West (MTW)Times Square - Theatre District (TS)Hell's Kitchen (HK)Central Park South (CPS)I originally started out bidding at $130 for a 4* hotel a couple of weeks ago. I've slowly been increasing my lowest bid and highest bid until I won today.Today's bid started at $150, then for each re-bid zone I added I increased it by $5 till I reached my max bid of $175 which was acceptedFrom the HOTWIRE links, the current best price for a 4* hotel was $185. So, while not as low as I was originally trying, I still think I got a pretty decent deal using priceline.I always start out my bidding using the PRICELINE quick quote at the top of your web site. So hopefully you still get points for my win.
thereuare Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Congratulations on your success! A nice deal for this property which is not seen very often as a win. This property is well located and generally gets very good reviews, plus with it being a Kimpton brand they offer an evening wine reception every nite which is a nice way to end the day or start a nite out on the town.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding. Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
