mil12177 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I am trying to find out what hotel is going for $136/night for 10/1/05. It is a 3* and located in the downtown/SoHo area. Anyone know or have a guess? Thanks!!!-Andrew
Blueskies Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 What are the amenities ? Laundry (self service) and Fitness Center?Did you look at the hotel list?Could be 3* Club Quarters Downtown -Amenities: Fitness, LaundryBlueskies

mil12177 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Posted September 28, 2005 The amenities are laundry and fitness. I will be around the Chelsea/SoHo area for my stay so actually that area works best for me. Any additional guidance would be great, it just seems like $136/night is a great deal for Sat night in NYC. Thanks!
thereuare Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 As BlueSkies had suspected, this is most likely (no guarantees) the Club Quarters, which is much more "downtown" than it is Soho/Chelsea.Another user just got the New York Hilton (in MTW) for $120/nite... i now suspect it can be had for maybe $115, and i would sooner choose a 4* for less than the Club Quarters (which is 'fine', but has notoriously small rooms... not that the rest of Manhattan does not :) )If you were to get a hotel in midtown you could very easily take a subway to SoHo in under 10 minutes and in NYC i would choose the nicer hotel with the 10 minute commute than a lesser hotel (this is my opinion, yours may differ).If you wanted to try for a 4* hotel in MTW i would bid as follows (if you're not familair with re-bidding or have questions just post back):Select 4* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120.Post back with your thoughts on the above and/or try the above and let us know how it goes.

mil12177 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Posted September 28, 2005 Thanks! $115/night would be amazing. I can stay anywhere in Manhattan really, I agree with you about staying in a nicer place and taking the subway to get downtown. Is there any other section besides MTW that I should focus on? I've done the re-bid process for airline tickets, is it the same for hotels? If you could direct me to a quick orientation that would be great just to make sure.
thereuare Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 PRICELINE RE-BIDDING EXPLAINEDI would start with the above as i don't think too many other areas will be close in price and based upon the previous poster i suspect you'll be successful with the above bidding... if it fails we'll take it from there and suggest a different strategy which include other zones.

mil12177 Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Posted September 29, 2005 Thanks for the help, I bid $120 and got the Hilton New York. The lower bids did not work. A great deal!
thereuare Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 Glad it worked for you...I think this is a much better outcome than the Club Quarters.Enjoy your stay and time in the city.
