Can anyone help me ID this hotel?
AaronJB Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess is that this may be a downgraded Four Points Sheraton.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE link to start your purchases and searches.
g35 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks for your reply. I've done some more research...do you think it could also be the Holiday Inn Wall Street? Seems to have same 4.0/5 tripadvisor rating, same free internet, same neighborhood. And if so (for either), does 137 seem decent for a December booking?
thereuare Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 If you haven't yet please start by reading your messages.If you're referring to the Holiday Inn on Nassau St that would be a likely possibility as well.For another $10-$20/nite i think you could get a 4* hotel on PRICELINE that was more centrally located in midtown, and if your budget allows that is the route i would go with, unless most of your plans this trip are centered around the Downtown/Wall St. area.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

g35 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Posted October 22, 2012 I think I'll give that a shot on PRICELINE. For neighbourhood I guess priority goes Times square > Midtown west > midtown east > ESB > MSG > UES > UWS > Downtown (though if the price is right I'd be willing to stay anywhere safe with good transit). Would you mind advising on bidding strategy (there is definitely flexibility in that order I posted)?
thereuare Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Are you willing to pay more in your first choice of zone vs. second choice vs. third choice, etc, etc?My advise would be to try for a 4* hotel in any of the MTE, MTW, TS, CPS and ESB zones up to $160 (is that acceptable??)... if that is rejected then consider your other alternate areas.If you have a different way you want to play it post back and we'll revise accordingly, otherwise i would bid as follows:When bidding 4* in NYC you have SIX re-bid zones.
