JAeboy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 A first post I make while bidding for next week 8/20~8/24. Some curiosity I have right now.What is Generally the rate of discount I get when I bid? With Tax/Fees, very big part of discount is compromised...Anyway, Chelsea Area, 2 1/2 ~4stars, okay for Financial District, SoHo, Madison Square, Central Park,Midtown, Lower, Upper! Anyware is fine and my max budget is 100 a day. Because of the Fees/Tax...Help me out! :) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding.There is no standard rate of discount - it can vary from somewhat to very significant and can vary from day-to-day. The taxes/fees do not have an effect on the discount, because you're paying the same taxes and often similar fees when booking regular rate.Unfortunately, $100 is not likely going to be enough for these dates. For a 2.5/3* you're likely looking at around $135-165, depending on the zone. For a 4* you're probably looking at closer to $175-200+ depending on the zone.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
JAeboy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Haha thanks for the advising.Well that is what I thought. Most expensive time of the year. School starting and vacation almost ending. :) Link to comment

School starting and vacation almost ending. :)Actually, it's not the most expensive time of the year. What is your alternative plan if you can't get a room for $100? Would you consider staying in NJ?

JAeboy Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mine is to try for LaGuardia Area. with similar price. Think that will work Link to comment
JAeboy Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Actually, I just looked through at HOTWIRE and there is a Marco Lexington at Flushing, 84 a day. Great location and seemingly clean photos and reviews. :) Link to comment
mtbscott Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Depends on your plans for your visit. The Marco-Lexington LaGuardia looks to be pretty close to a 7 train subway station, but it's going to be a 30 minute trip or more into Manhattan from it. Not really good from a tourist standpoint.
