radcrow Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Posted March 18, 2013 budget - trying for under $200/night. trying 3 stars or better. other zones - as close to time square as possible
thereuare Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?If you use our BiddingHelper.com and search for your dates, look at the map on the PRICELINE tab... which zones, by PRICELINE name, are you willing to accept? Did you only want to bid Times Square first up to your budget, then if rejected re-try using other nearby zones, or does price ultimately prevail and the least expensive hotel in any of your acceptable zones, is the desired goal?Let us know the above 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... and please click each of these previous links before replying.Thanks.

radcrow Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Posted March 20, 2013 My free re-bid zone was Coney Island. I tried Times Square, MSG, MTW, went as low as 2 1/2 star. Started at $120, went up to I think $175 when priceline suggested or whatever $208. I entered it and got The Time hotel. Has good reviews. We'll see after the trip if it was worth it ;) Thanks for your help.
