Priceline Hotel: Bidding Advice - Tribeca or Times Square 9/14 - 9/16 ****

[JennB]

Looking to stay in either Tribeca or Times Square **** from 9/14 - 9/16

Should I bid closer to the date?

This is my first time ever bidding. Any advice much appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. I'm looking to spend maximum $125 a night. I just read reviews about the Sheraton in Tribeca not being in the best area so I'm willing to look at other zones. Maybe even near Central Park. But that might be outside my price range.

Your budget is not likely going to be enough for any zone within Manhattan... you'll likely need to compromise in location and stay outside of Manhattan and commute in, lower your star rating (possibly substantially), or increase your budget.

Using BiddingHelper.com and/or MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for these dates?
