thereuare Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Would like a 3 to 3.5 star hotel under $200 per night.Are you willing to pay more for a 3.5* vs. a 3* OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?Would like to be near a subway.How far of a walk do you consider 'near'? Is a 15 minute walk to the subway close enough? What are your thoughts about extremely small rooms... would such a room be acceptable?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

llh58 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Are you willing to pay more for a 3.5* vs. a 3* OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?Least Exensive between 3 and 3.5 star is fine! How far of a walk do you consider 'near'? Is a 15 minute walk to the subway close enough? What are your thoughts about extremely small rooms... would such a room be acceptable?Don't need a huge room but would like 2 beds, I know there is no guarantee! 15 minute walk is fine.

thereuare Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Just to clarify/confirm some of the above...Did you only want to bid MTE, MTW, and TS to begin... or include other areas which are generally considered centrally located?If including other areas, at 3.5* and under the CPS zone contains the Hudson Hotel which has notoriously small rooms which only have one bed (and it takes up most of the room). While chances of two beds in the room at most NYC hotels low, if you land this property it will be nearly impossible (without a negotiated paid upgrade fee)... should this zone therefore not be included in your bidding? (assuming you do want to include other zones besides the three above)Lastly, i don't think your budget should be an issue, in fact you might even be able to get a 4* hotel one of the zones above at less than your $200/nite limit... but to confirm, you prefer the least expensive 3* or better, correct?Please confirm the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 When bidding 3* in NYC you have ONE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MTE...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MTW and MTE...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MTW and TS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MTW and MTE and TS...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140The above may (likely) prove to be too low, but with time before your stay, i would at least try one round of lowballing to begin.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

AaronJB Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 This would be a possible match for the Tribeca Grand or W Downtown, although I'd lean a bit more towards the W.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
