cha_charoni Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 I'm looking for bidding strategy for one night in NYC 9/3/05-9/4/05. Preferably around Times Square but willing to go further down Manhattan or Upper East or Upper West, if the price is right. I'm looking to spend around $150 and hope to get a 4* but willing to go down to 3*.Thanks!
thereuare Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 Please first update your SEATTLE HOTEL post with whatever you ended up doing. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
thereuare Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 Please see my reply to your follow-up Seattle post.For your NYC stay, what zones (as defined by priceline) are you willing to accept. Most choose MTE, MTW, UM/CPS... Times Square is not a priceline zone and "further south" really doesn't tell us which zones South of Time Square you are willing to bid.

cha_charoni Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Posted August 24, 2005 Any zone in Manhattan would be fine for us since we're just staying one night but I would preferMTE, MTW, or UM/CPS but willing to go to Downtown-SoHo-Financial District or UES, UWS.Thanks!

cha_charoni Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Posted September 1, 2005 It doesn't look these worked for us. Our budget was around $150. I tried all the way up to $130 since with taxes it would make near 160.We might go ahead and crash with friends.Thanks for all your help with the bidding strategy.
