Hotwire Hotel: 4* New York City (Downtown - SoHo) Club Quarters World Trade

[migraineboy]

Hi! I'm going to NY for the first time( I live in Brazil) and for my stay I would like to try to stay in a 4* hotel in the Manhattan area. Obviously I don't know the place, but for what I've read, it is recommended that I stay south of Upper East/West Side, so that excludes Harlem, Brooklin, Long and Coney Island. I'm a little worried because it's an 7 days stay and it's possible that I have to split. If necessary, of course I can do it, but I'd prefer not. My limit for the price range is $160/night (max $175) with taxes and fees. Do you think that I can do it? Is it to early to bid? Which, between the map limit that I've stablished, are the most recommended areas?

Any tips would be very much appreciated.

I understand the process of the rebidding zones and stuff.

Best regards.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Is Downtown/Financial an acceptable zone... it's not as centrally located as midtown (MTE, MTW, TS, CPS, ESB and MSG zones) but it's do-able at the right price (about a 20-25 minute subway ride to midtown).

Please confirm the zones you're willing to accept, by price.lie name, and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow. I do think you have a chance at a midtown hotel for your complete stay if bidding up to $175/nite... but $160 will probably fall a little short (but we will certainly start low and gradually bid higher so that if anything is available at $160 or lower you won't over bid for it). Are you willing to bid up to $175 for your complete stay at this time OR do you prefer a lower bid limit and prefer to SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID if you hit whatever current maximum bid you choose?

Hi! Thx for your answer.

Well, I would consider Downtown/Financial as acceptable zone. Of course, the zones that I'd prefer though are exactly the ones that you've mentioned: MTE, MTW, TS, CPS, ESB and MSG.

When you say that you think that I have a chance at a midtown hotel if bidding up to $175/nite are you talking about pre or post taxes price.

I don't mind splitting my PRICELINE bid.

Thank again.

Bid price... so before taxes and fees.

So you have a lot of options and combinations here... what do you want to try first?

-only you're preferred zones OR also include Downtown?

-bidding 4* and up to $175?

-if that is rejected do you then want to 1) include other zones (Downtown if not included previously) OR 2) split your dates while staying at the 4* level?

Well, lets do this: You can add to my preferred zones Chelsea, Soho and Downtown bidding 4* and up to $160

and, like I've said I'm willing to split my dates while staying at the 4* level

I'm using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links and will keep using it.

Hotwire is showing me an 4-star Hotel in Downtown - SoHo - Financial District per $148 with the following amenities:

Free Internet ; Smoke Free Rooms; Fitness Center (an additional charge may apply)

Business Center (an additional charge may apply); Laundry Facilities (self-service) and

High-Speed Internet Access (an extra charge may apply)

Any guesses on that?

Well, I couldn't resist to the HOTWIRE offer. I've tryed to obtain a better rate through PRICELINE but it didn't happen, so I took my chances with the HOTWIRE.

The Hotel is the Club Quarters, World Trade Center and I hope I like it. It wasn't my favorite area but it was a good price after all(I guess...)

Thx for your support.
