Looking for help with this one.

2 adults 2 kids / 1 room

May 24 - May 27th 2012

Midtown Central area hotel

Could I get a better deal somewhere (from midtown upwards) else for the same money?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The above is a match for the Holiday Inn Midtown 57th St so that would be my best guess for this one.

PRICELINE is usually a little cheaper than HOTWIRE, but the 'problem' is that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. This is generally considered a substantial risk in NYC where hotels have a high percentage of rooms with only one bed in them (as opposed to some place like Orlando where it is less risky since that area is more accustomed to accommodating families and therefore have a higher percentage of rooms with more than one bed)

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

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thanks. Was indeed the Holiday Inn. Just booked today although I missed the $189 and paid $200. You snooze you lose...!

Congrats on your success. :)

Definitely not a bad deal at all for this Holiday Inn property, especially given quad occupancy.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.
