Hotwire Hotel: 4* - NYC - December

[bobby babba]

Tried for CPS, MTE, MTW, TS.

No luck up to 250 for single room.

Any suggestions?

[bobby babba]

Update:

Tried with the PRICELINE link from your site. No joy.

Local posted cheapest rates for same period:

Mtw-ts sheraton ny hotel and towers $350

MTW-grand central affinia shelburn $289

Upper manhattan renaissance $399

Chelsea Hilton fashion district $269

Max advanced bidding using all districts lacking 4*

No luck to 250

Want to avoid CPS for small rooms (party of three single room req)

Any help welcome.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

The issue with NYC and 3 people in a room is that many properties offer small (130-180 sq ft) rooms, even at the 3.5*-4* level. There's a definite risk of getting one bed in NYC when using PRICELINE, but this is really one of the busiest periods of the year (although it's kind of on the border; the second half of December is usually expensive, but not as bad as the extremely busy first half), so the risk is even greater. Are you okay with the likely result of one bed when using PRICELINE?

If not, HOTWIRE can still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure accommodations for everyone you include in your search.

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

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

Likely London NYC. No bid as room descriptions suggest will not accommodate 3 adults.

Is this for the same December date/s as discussed in this Priceline NYC thread? Please keep threads updated, and keep all posts for the same stay within the same thread.

Are you searching for three adults on HOTWIRE when coming up with the above listing?

Yes this is the same booking time. Was moved to this thread because I wanted to get room for three adults, and FAQ suggested Hotwire better for this with NY notoriously small rooms. Bidding for one room, three adults; need a double, as one young couple and a grandmother! Still looking, not much in this range on offer. Originally thought it was the International, but recommendation rate not consistent with previous trip advisor recommendation/postings.

Any hints on how close to the holiday season i should wait before booking? Or good backups with friendly cancellation policies should I want to get some protection against no sales?

Am I right in assuming that I should be able to get some sort of deal before December rolls around?

What sort of difference is there in price between the priceline and hotwire hotels? 10%? More/less?

thanks - and I always use the links provided by your website.

The % ratings are customer reviews from HOTWIRE; tripadvisor reviews are different and may vary from HOTWIRE in terms of level, given expectations from full fare customers (a number of tripadvisor reviewers) and discount rate customers may differ.

Middle of December - if past years are any indication - is quite busy; I'd try looking to lock something in within the next few weeks. Unfortunately a "deal" for these dates is still going to likely be very pricey. Rate difference between PRICELINE and HOTWIRE varies, 10-20% is not unusual, but certainly can be higher or lower.

Are you still seeing the same amenities? I'm only seeing restaurant/business/internet/fitness when searching for 3 people for these dates. What price are you seeing with this listing, and what would be your desired max per night?
