thereuare Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Can you please further reply to your San Francisco thread indicating how you booked... it's not clear if you used PRICELINE, HOTWIRE, booked direct, etc.Can you please add the address of the Doubletree you recieved to your other thread as i'm unable to find a Doubletree hotel currently in this zone, nor any information on a hotel that used to be a Doubletree which has changed ownership. With the address information i'll be able to confirm the correct zone and current hotel name.What to do next?For NYC i think you have plenty of options within prices you have already bid...3.5* Hotel Excelsior NYC for $207/nite (you haven't yet bid this zone on PRICELINE)4* King and Grove for $216/nite4* Doubletree Metropolitan for $220/nite4* The Lucerne for $227/nite (again, you haven't bid this zone but within your bidding so far and great reviews with a 4.5/5.0 TA rating, although the location is not my favorite)PRICELINE EXPRESS also has a 3.5* hotel in the ESB zone for $187/niteAny of the above of interest and work for your needs?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aznhunter Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 It looks like the best price I can get for sept 28-0ct 1 is $237 through the PRICELINE EXPRESS. Do you think that there's a better deal for me at the moment with the areas I want or should I wait longer? I appreciate all the help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm not following your last reply...Did you already bid on PRICELINE up to $237/nite for a 3.5* or higher... if so, why is the PRICELINE EXPRESS property not good enough if it is equal to your previous maximum bid?As well, i have presented some options above that are 3.5* or higher rated and lower priced than $237/nite, so i'm not sure if this is really your best price for these dates, but if it is, what about the hotel(s) i have listed above in my last post?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aznhunter Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 At the moment, I'm trying to bid lower than $237 because I could get a 4 star in midtown east at this price. I'm trying to bid for other areas but priceline seems to reject all offers below 237. How do I get the rates you have provided, for example, doubletree in the metro area for 220/nite? I see the price in the high 200's. Thanks again. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Try this link (but confirm the dates after you click). Also, this link will expire about 30 min after it's posted, so i'll send you a PM notifying you of this post.. if you catch it too late and are interested in this property, let us know and we'll re-post a fresh link)This should open a 4* hotel in the MTE zone on HOTWIRE for $222/nite with:Pet Friendly Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ... best guess for this offer is the Doubletree Metropolitan.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aznhunter Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 By any chance, would there be a hotel for this price range in TS or MTW? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 TS/MTW are going to be more expensive - there's a 4.5* for $291 on HOTWIRE in TS and a 3.5* in for $238/3.5* in MTC for $240.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

aznhunter Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 what is your best guess for the 4 star rate hotel at 239 in madison square garden hell's kitchen area? Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 What are the amenities associated with this property?It's still not clear from your post... have you already ready bid up to $237/nite for a 4* hotel?

aznhunter Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I have not used HOTWIRE before. The pricing seems reasonable but I really don't know their star rating system and what hotels would fit for each zone. I'm looking for 3.5 star hotels and above with a budget of 239 per night. Since it is my first time in New York, what zone/area or hotel do you recommend. I appreciate any input. Thanks. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I often recommend MTE and ESB. TS is the most crowded (and most expensive) zone in the city, and I wouldn't recommend it.You can find the hotels reported to the board on PRICELINE and HOTWIRE linked at the bottom corner of every thread, as well as by clicking at the "Can't Find What You're Looking For?" box in the upper corner and then clicking "see hotel lists."Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
