Priceline Hotel: 4.5* New York City (Times Square - Theatre District) Intercontinental New York Times Square

[A-lo]

Looking for a last minute booking for Labor Day weekend. Rack Rates seem to have come down a bit from a few weeks ago.

Previous unsuccessful bid on 8/13 for the same dates: rejected from $125 up to $185

Zones: Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, Central Park South, Midtown West, and ESB, using Long Island and Morningside Heights as my free rebids

I think the 4* Affinia Shelburne in ESB is available for $168 on Hotwire, which seems like a good deal, and perhaps this is as good as anything I'll get through Priceline? I have a backup.

Thanks!!

Where and how much is your back-up reservation?

Are you still seeing a 4* hotel in the ESB zone for $168/nite as the 4* hotel in this zone when i search for your dates (8/31-9/3) is priced at $198/nite (and the one offered i don't think is the Affinia Shelbourne)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

My backup is a friend's place on the Upper West Side, so that price is $0!

The 4* I saw before on hotline before is gone. It's only listed amenity was Pet Friendly, which is why I thought it could be the Shelbourne, thanks to your super helpful list. I learned my lesson in snatching a good deal in front of you while it's there.

There's a 4* now in ESB on Hotwire for $195 which only has Restaurant has an amenity, but it doesn't match any hotel on your hotwire list. Any idea what it could be?

I think I will try Priceline again in the same zones I used before.

I got the 4.5* Intercontinental Times Square for $200/night ($732 total). I saw on HOTWIRE that I think this hotel was popping up for $214, so I started bidding 4.5* on PRICELINE in CPS, ESB, MW, & TS, with 4 free rebid areas. I started bidding at $170.

I'd rather avoid Times Square but this seems like a good hotel for this price. I used this site's PRICELINE links.
