pacey82 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Dear all,We are just planning our trip to NYC in April 2014, Therefor I am looking for a 4* hotel in Manhattan from 2014-04-11 to 2014-04-17.Does it make sense to expect already today good offers at Priceline? Or shall I wait until March 2014?Best regards Link to comment

thereuare Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Your budget may be a little low for these dates (at least based upon current pricing) but you should start bidding now, not daily but once every 1-2 weeks, as i think if you do hit something at the $150 area it would be considered a good deal.If you'd like help with a bidding strategy please let us know which zones, by PRICELINE name, you're willing to accept 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.

pacey82 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I would prefer Chelsea, Times Square, Empire State & SoHo. Link to comment

pacey82 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 No luck so far ... Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 This is historically a very expensive time of year in NYC, and while you do have plenty of time before your trip, i think the following HOTWIRE offer is a very good deal for your date that you may want to consider:3.5* MSG property for $159/nite and and excellent 4.5/5.0 TA rating with:Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ... best guess here would be the TRYP Times Square SouthYesterday there was also a 4* hotel in the ESB zone for $185/nite that i had guessed was the St Giles The Court, but that is not currently being offered when i search HOTWIRE for your dates above.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.
