Hotwire Hotel: New into this...

[gsen]

Hi all,

I'm very new into priceline and would like to try my chances in the upcoming NYC trip.

I will visit NYC during 11/7 - 11/10...

Would like to get an hotel with 5*, 4.5* and 4* near TS and thinking of a nightly budget of max. 200$.

What would be the strategy to start bidding through priceline?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks...

Welcome to Betterbidding.

This is unfortunately a very busy period in NYC and rates are definitely on the high side. Is TS the only acceptable zone? A 4* or higher for $200 in NYC in TS during these date/s is unfortunately unlikely. However, you may be able to get a 4* in MTE, ESB or a couple of other nearby zones (MSG, for example) for within the $175-225 neighborhood. HOTWIRE does have a 4* for $198 in the Empire State Building area.

Hi,

We will be travelling to NY in November between 7-10 and looking for a price around 200$ with 4 stars in the areas CPS, TS, MTW...

Is the price realistic for this search?

Thanks...

[AaronJB]

This is unfortunately a very busy period in NYC although prices - while expensive - are a little less than what I'd expect. I think $200 is going to be difficult for these date/s in these zone/s (especially if you are looking for $200 "all-in" (including taxes/fees), but it's probably not far off. Would MTE be acceptable?

Have you bid for this stay at all yet?

What was it about the HOTWIRE property that you inquired above that you didn't like that you decided against what one?

If you'd like help with a bidding strategy which zones, by PRICELINE name, are acceptable?
