Jodes Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hello,I've been searching HOTWIRE through your links (always so helpful here so I ensure I always use the links)... I've found a 4* hotel in Midtown Central for $146 a night 14 May 2013 to 21 May 2013..Facilities are: Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access..HotWire customer reviews: 80%Trip Advisor Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0I'm thinking it's the Sheraton but am not certain!?It looks like pretty good deal compared to what else is avaliable..What are your views?Thanks muchly.

AaronJB Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 My guess would be the Sheraton, as well.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
donna:-) Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm looking at this same hotel and people keep telling me it's the sheraton, but on TA it is 4 out of 5 not 3.5 out of 5 so it can't be can it? Link to comment

Jodes Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I've just had a few goes at bidding for a hotel in NYC...I am devestated that we missed out on an amazing HotWire deal just recently (hadn't booked flights when I was looking at hotels)... (Was what I think was the Sheraton for about $118/$145 prices went up n down for a few days.. now is right up over $200 a night)..Wanting 2 rooms for 7 nights - May 14 2013 to May 21 2013...Bidding history just went like this (first time bidding on PL.. have Booked through HW before though)...$120Midtown EastRe-bid $130 added:Midtown WestRe-bid $140 added:Central Park South SoHo - Tribeca Re-Bid (I think I accidently went back down to $130) - Added:Empire State Building Area.Would like a 4*... Any area really in Manhattan - have been once before and stayed just across from Rockefella Centre and found the Subway pretty easy to get around...Looking probably around TS/Central Area or maybe down Soho kind of area (but not liking the chances of under $200 a night for Soho area)...Any help would be appreicated!! With 7 months out I thought we'd still be able to get some great deals but prices have seem to have gone up already!Thanks!Jodie. Link to comment

With 7 months out I thought we'd still be able to get some great deals but prices have seem to have gone up already!More likely is that what you believed to be the Shertaon was an 'outlier' in the sense that it was cheaper than everything else at its star level, and what you're currently seeing are prices more typical for this time of year.I've just had a few goes at bidding for a hotel in NYC......Would like a 4*... Any area really in Manhattan... Looking probably around TS/Central Area or maybe down Soho kind of area (but not liking the chances of under $200 a night for Soho area)...As you haven't yet bid all areas offering 4* hotels in NYC, what is it that you really want... a 4* hotel in one of the zones already bid OR are you willing to accept a hotel anywhere within Manhattan? Regardless of the zones you choose, at current rated i don't think that $140 is going to be realistic for these dates... is this your maximum bid at this time?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Jodes Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Sorry about that. Thought I'd need a new thread because I changed to Priceline. Thanks for putting them together. I'm pretty sure that the low price was the Sheraton I know aomeone who big $118 not expecting it to be accepted and it was and ended up being the Sheraton around te same time as what I'm going next year. My delimma is now that I regret not buying for about $140 when we first saw it (can't change that now I guess). But I'm hoping for something close to that price. I'm also needing 2 rooms. I guess no one can really tell but is it best waiting for a better deal to pop up and book closer to the date or booking 7mths out. I'm getting mixed responses, I guess because no one really can say what's going to happen with prices but wondering what typically happens. Is mid may a busy time in NYC? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 There is no way to know for sure whether or not prices will come down closer to the date/s of travel - this is discussed in detail in the FAQ.*Traditionally* this is a busier time, given nicer Spring weather. Jan-March is generally slow, April to June get busier as that time goes on. July-August are slower due to hot weather before things get quite a bit busier in September through around mid-December.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Jodes Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks for the info.... If only we knew what would happen with prices hey....I'll let you know what we end up doing.. Might try my luck at bidding on some 3.5 star hotels this afternoon when I get home from work... Link to comment

thereuare Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 For the Downtown property, if you go back to HOTWIRE and click the SHOW ME button next to this 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?Are you willing to compromise on star rating, zone, and/or price with 8 months to go before your stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
