Priceline Hotel: NYC Hotel March 12-14

[dallastx2012]

Help please!! I have no clue how to name a price with Priceline. I will be in New York March 12-14th. I have tried for the past hour to get a deal and I my patience is running thin!! Shouldn't there be deals since this is during the week? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just found out about the last minute trip last week so I am def in a crunch. I would prefer 3.5 * or higher. The maximum I did before was $145.00 Should I go higher or put it in differently or what? Thanks! We would also like to be as close to the action as possible (TS/ME). I have a meeting in Columbus Circle but could easily take a taxi.

I lost all 6 bids. I went from $100-145 and each time I had to change something about the bid. I started off with Times Square and added Midtown East, West and Central Park South. There are no past wins since I stated this is my first time bidding. Thanks!

Good morning,

I am searching for a room in NYC for March 12-14th (next week). I am showing a 4* hotel in Central Park East for $201. Is this good or can I get a better last minute deal elsewhere? I had no luck bidding yesterday on Priceline. I cop and pasted the following:
