thereuare Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 This is a slow time of year in NYC so your budget should likely be ok.i'm looking for a hotel in NY Manhatten. Area is less important (no Financial district, no Long Island & no Brooklyn)Since you included some zones that are not acceptable, obviously area does play some factor. Please list the zones, by PRICELINE name, that you are willing to accept and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Also, are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.

NY2013 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Posted December 20, 2012 OK, thanks for your fast response. Of course i'll use your links for my travel purchases.And yes, i'm willing to pay more for a 4* hotel but 3.5* should also be fine.First i would like to try my favourite areas:2 Central Park South 6 Empire State Building Area 7 Hell's Kitchen 10 Madison Square Garden 11 Midtown East 12 Midtown West 16 Times Square - Theatre District Thanks so much in advance. :D

NY2013 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Posted December 28, 2012 Hi guys,Unfortunately still unlucky...although i tried it up to 100$ :-( (of course using your PRICELINE links)Probably it's too early for booking at end of february atm?Should i try it with a 3,5* Hotel?Most important for me is cleanness and central location... Looking forward for your tipps! :)
NY2013 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Posted December 28, 2012 Hi guys,this is the 3,5* Chelsea - MSG 02/16 - 02/22This Hotel features the following amenities:Free Internet Boutique Hotel Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Accessible for the blind Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower It is listed @ 112$ ... which hotel is this probably?Could it be the "TRYP" ??Thanks in advance!
thereuare Posted December 28, 2012 Report Posted December 28, 2012 Probably it's too early for booking at end of february atm?Should i try it with a 3,5* Hotel?If you think it's simply too early for a win then i wouldn't drop your star level at this time. ;)You're likely only a few dollars away from a win... HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in the Chelsea-MSG zone for $107/nite with: Free Internet Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in ShowerMy best guess for this property would be the Ramada Plaza New Yorker... would this HOTWIRE offer work for your plans and worth the extra $7/nite?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted December 28, 2012 Report Posted December 28, 2012 Just saw your 2nd thread and have merged it into this one... please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.If you're willing to pay $112 for the 3.5* HOTWIRE property, why not first bid up to at least that amount for a 4* hotel on PRICELINE? Also, is there something in particular that you're looking for, as i'd think you'd sooner look at the 4* HOTWIRE hotel in this zone at $107 vs. the 3.5* hotel in the same zone for $112?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

NY2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Posted January 1, 2013 Hi guys,finally i used your HOTWIRE links to finish my booking.I expected the 3.5* Yotel @ MSG and got it for 112$. I'm quite happy with it! :) Thanks for your support!Decisive for me was the guaranteed recommendation rate over 90%..so im very happy! Thanks! :D
