I will be in NYC for a conference 4/19-4/20. I'm looking to spend less than $200 for a hotel between Times Square and Penn Station. I will be traveling with my partner and our 1 year old. Just looking for a clean, affordable hotel. Is this doable? If so, how much should I bid?

Thank you!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Here is the issue/situation:

PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed... and many NYC hotel rooms are not big enough to accommodate a crib/Pak N Play.

A better but slightly more expensive option would be HOTWIRE which allows you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search. While searching for more than double occupancy often increases the price (especially in NYC) HOTWIRE actually defines 'child' as 2-17 years old, so i would think you'd be 'safe' searching HOTWIRE for 2adults/0chidlren and then calling the hotel to inform them of your child. While it's possible that the hotel you receive could have an issue with the 3rd guest (your child) you could then call HOTWIRE and indicate that you searched based upon their parameters (since it only asks for children that are 2+ years or older). While this approach would likely save you some money vs. purchasing for 2adults/1child, it may involve a phone call/hassle explaining the situation to HOTWIRE and getting them to act to resolve the situation (although their customer service is usually pretty good once you get somebody on the phone that understands issue), and it's a safer bet then bidding on PRICELINE due to the double occupancy issue.

Based upon the above let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

PS- please also confirm that this is just a one nite stay and check-out is April 20th.
