chefpoochie Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Hi,I need help to find a 3.5 or 4 star hotel in NYC, for some reason the prices are extremely expensive. My max bid is $150 and acceptable zones are MTE, MTW, Soho, Empire, CPS.Thanks
thereuare Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!Seasonally Fall is a very expensive time of year in NYC. However, i just took a look and while prices are higher than your desired $150 budget, they're not really that out of line for there area (which generally is fairly expensive).Based upon current rates i'm doubtful that you'll be successful for a 3.5* or better for this trip, we can certainly provide a strategy to give it a try, but will need a bit more information in order to do so...1) Did you want to try for a 4* first and then if rejected try for a 3.5* property... or is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?2) Note that when bidding 3.5* and lower:MTE - some 'known' hotels can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway... is this acceptable?CPS - has the Hudson Hotel, which while well located, has notoriously small rooms (~140 sq. ft.).. is this acceptable?Are these either/both of zones still acceptable?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know the information above and we'll take it from there.

chefpoochie Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 I would love a 4 star and a 15 minute walk to the subway would be fine. Not a fan of having a very small room though!! Thanks
thereuare Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 At current rates i don't think that $150 will be enough for a 4*, but let's start with that and take it from there...When bidding 4* in NYC you have SEVEN 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 4* MTE, MTW, Soho, Empire, CPS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any 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.
