Priceline Hotel: 4* New York City (Times Square - Theatre District) Millennium Broadway Hotel

[YogiSajnani]

HI,

I need a good 4* or 5* in new york city. I am traveling on 25th September till 1st October. Preferable areas:

Midtown West

Central Park

Times Square area

If you suggest anywhere else close by to these, I don't mind having a look. Maybe a little quieter area if you can suggest yet close by.

I would appreciate it. First time bidding.

Regards,

Yogesh

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

I've also found the Midtown E area to be an enjoyable place to stay, as well, and would definitely be a quieter option not far from TS. What would be your desired budget per night for this stay?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I would be comfortable paying upto $350 dollars per night. Not sure though is it enough and good enough. I saw some on booking.com which fit in my range but honestly the quality of the 4* for that price and the reviews do not sound good to me.

Does priceline have a better brand of hotels, can you help how to go about it?

Times Square - Theatre District area hotel

$341.00 per room, per night

Amenities:

Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Accessible for the blind

Midtown Central area hotel

$445.00

per room, per night

Amenities:

Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Spa Services

Midtown East Area hotel

Amenities:

Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Accessible for the blind

Midtown Central area hotel

$334.00 per room

...the quality of the 4* for that price and the reviews do not sound good to me.

Without knowing the hotels you're referencing it's unknown how these hotels compare to what you may get on PRICELINE... or if these are the very same hotels you could possibly receive thru PRICELINE. At a better price would these same hotels be acceptable... or do the hotels simply not live up to your standards regardless of how good of a deal the property is?

Do keep in mind that you're coming to NYC during one of the most expensive times of the year, which will likely inflate room rates in an already expensive market.

You can see hotels that others have won thru PRICELINE within each zone and star rating in this Priceline Hotel List. However, if quality is the most important factor for this stay then you may want to consider HOTWIRE where you can often use the amenities shown before the purchase to make an educated guess as to what you receive, as well as often see TA ratings and ratings from previous guests of the hotel which can give added confidence that you're receiving a well reviewed hotel. The trade-off is that that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE.

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

EDIT TO ADD: please keep all posts for this stay in the same thread. I have merged your topics into this thread. Let us know your thoughts on how you'd like to proceed for this trip and we'll then either suggest a PRICELINE strategy or look at the HOTWIRE properties above. Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I don't mind going ahead with Hotwire where atleast I know something. But would appreciate any help. I have listed a few properties above in the 4* and 5* categories. Is it possible to get an idea which properties are those from the amenities?

Please help if you can.

Thanks,

Yogesh

If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the SHOW ME button next to each offer (the one with the price in it), then on the ensuing page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?

$465 - 4.5 Star - Times Square

$436 - 4.5 Star - Midtown Central

$387 - 4 Star - Central Park East

Are you willing to pay $450+ for a hotel room for this trip?

Have you purchased your airline tickets? Have you checked the Hotwire Hotel List for matches for any of the above?

[phureal]

I'm looking for 9/25 - 10/2

Would I be able to score a room for less than $200?

I'm looking in UWS, UES, manhantan, generally anywhere near times square.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

[AaronJB]

phureal,

Welcome to Betterbidding.

Please start a new thread with the details of your stay and we would be happy to assist - this is a busy time in NYC and a higher star rating for that long a period may be difficult for under $200. Are you willing to stay anywhere within UES/UWS?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

[YogiSajnani]

Apologies for the late reply. But I ended up using PRICELINE to bid. For $310 dollars I got Millienium Broadway.
