Priceline Hotel: NYC 9/13 - 9/16

[EIFFE0925]

Hi guys!!! Newbie here...

I have been lurking around, and so glad that I came across this forum. You guys are amazing!!! I have learned so much in the past few weeks.

My husband & I are going to NYC to meet some other couples, I'm really excited bc this will be our first "Grown up" trip without kids :)...

The couples we are meeting are staying @ W 57th street. Based on that address our options are Central Park South, Midtown West and TS. I would love to stay at a 4* hotel, but willing to lower to 3*-3.5*. We would like something decent, affordable and not too far from our friends.

Do you guys think $150/night is realistic? I have read some winning bids around this price for the Sheraton NY Hotel and Towers and the Hudson, a Morgans original. If so, please help me come up with a bidding strategy.

Please let me know if you need to know anything else.

Thank you in advanced!

At the moment i'm doubtful that $150 will be enough for a 3* or better hotel... at the 3* level you're likely looking at ~$180-$200... a 3.5* for $200-$220... and a 4* at $250+. We can suggest a strategy for whatever star rating and amounts you'd like, but the above is the ballpark bid amounts i think you're looking at to be successful for these dates.

Using BiddingHelper.com what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?
