Priceline Hotel: NYC Bidding Help 4* Sept 8-Sept 12

[jenviolet]

Hi! My husband and I are traveling to NYC 9/8-9/12 and are looking for a nice (4*) hotel. After we booked our flights we realized it was Fashion Week so we know hotels will be more expensive than usual. I've tried bids of $200 up to $260 with the following areas marked: SoHo (preferred), LES, Chelsea, Financial District, UWS, Central Park South, Empire State, Midtown East/West, Madison Square Garden and Times Square. I'm nervous to go up much higher for fear that we will get a not-so-nice hotel for as much money as booking something separately. It's important that we are within a few blocks of the subway. I'm willing to go up to a total price of $1300 (~$275/night) to get a good deal on a NICE hotel. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding.

Unfortunately, these dates are considerably expensive. While booking directly would be an option, there is still unfortunately a spread between your last bid and the regular rate at most 4*'s for these dates, which is around $400-500, although there are a few in the mid-to-upper 300's on Expedia.

What would be your desired max bid for these dates? I think you are likely fairly close to a win ($270-285, likely)
