lapan Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Posted May 25, 2012 Minimum star is 2.5. I booked a backup B&B at $110 lower East.So hopefully I could get something better with a higher price.
thereuare Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 Is a 15 minute walk to the subway acceptable?To confirm: CPS, Chelsea, Downtown, ESB, HK, LES, MSG, MTE, MTW, Morningside Heights, Queensboro Bridge, Soho, TS, UES and UWS are all acceptable?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lapan Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Posted May 26, 2012 No Morningside Heights, Queensboro Bridge, and UWS. Thanks. Appreciate your help.Prefer 10 mintues walk if possible.
thereuare Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 No Morningside Heights, Queensboro Bridge, and UWS.So the updated list is now:CPS, Chelsea, Downtown, ESB, HK, LES, MSG, MTE, MTW, Soho, TS, UESPrefer 10 mintues walk if possible.At less than 4* the MTE has some 'known' hotels that can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway (HK too but i suspect you're chances of winning a hotel in this zone are very low)... should we include these zones in a bidding or not?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 Currently i don't think your budget is going to be enough for a hotel, but if you want to give it a try you can do so as follows:At the 2.5* (and 3*) levels you have ONE re-bid zone.
