tooniebug Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 Hi, looking for starting price advice for NYC (any Manhatten zone except Harlem, Downtown/Financial or LES). I was thinking of starting at $110 but I found rack rates of $125 at a few decent 3.5 and 4* locations so I am thinking I can do a lot better? Any suggestions for starting price? Want to go 4* to avoid the riff raff that might pop up in less. As always, used the PRICELINE link from here! :)
thereuare Posted December 30, 2012 Report Posted December 30, 2012 To avoid any confusion, please list the zones that you are willing to accept, rather than the ones that you won't accept. Also, let us know your maximum bid and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

tooniebug Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Posted December 31, 2012 Well, maybe you can help with this? Plan on doing the usual city visitors things, going to a lot of different areas... seems like good subway access is more important than being in a specific zone. Having said that, I dont't think we want to be too far north (Harlem, and maybe UWS/UES?) nor too far south (Downtown/Financial).I am guessing:CPS, CHELSEA, ESB, HK, MSG, MTE, MTW, SOHO, LES, TSTDBut I would love suggestions/changes if any of these are areas we might want to avoid. Since I have reservations at $125 in an ok place, I don't want to go over $125. I would like to go much lower if possible. :DAs always, thanks for your help!
thereuare Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 At the 4* level i would start with MTE, MTW, TS, CPS and ESB.If these are all acceptable i would bid as follows:When bidding 4* in NYC you have SIX re-bid zoens.
