Priceline Hotel: NYC in March 2006

[davidUK]

Hello everyone,

I know this might be kind of a difficult question.

I am planning a stay in NYC in March 2006 (probably March 23 - 28), that is going to involve 5 nights.

I have learnt from this board that prices differ greatly. I am not really planning on bidding right now because I suppose this might be a bit too early.

Now this is my question: Does anyone have an idea of how high bids would tipically have to be to be accepted during this period (based on the past) for 3, 4 or 5 stars?

This is just to get an idea of how to calculate more or less!

Thanks!

Simon

I would do your homework by deciding what star level you would be happy with (if not already done so), looking at potential hotels websites to see the variation in rates for your time frame, deciding whether you would be happy to split the bid and of course looking at the previous wins. Tripadvisor also gives you additional reviews to the ones you can access through Betterbidding maps.

Bear in mind that what other people got in previous dates even at same time of year may no way be an indicator of how much you may need to bid. Things change.

You also need to decide which areas you want to stay in.

Probably better to have a cancellable back up booked just in case when/if you have got flights arranged.
