Priceline Hotel: New York 3*+ 12/12/13 - 12/17/13

[Megalo]

Hi there,

Been looking at the forum and hoping for some assistance. Can use Hotwire or Priceline, but looking for a hotel in central New York between 12th and 17th December. Only been on a day trip before but this time will be looking to see a little more - not too bothered about location but somewhere central is best. Looking to get a 3 to 4* hotel in the area for up to $170 a night. Is this reasonable? Any advice on areas or bidding strategy is welcome!

Thanks

David

p.s. don't worry I'll use your links! :)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

You're in the right ballpark for a 3* hotel for these dates.

The most frequently bid zones, which are all mostly considered to be centrally located are: MTE, MTW, TS, CPS, ESB, MSG, and Chelsea, but you need to also take note:

MTE - the ONE New York Plaza is a bit far east in the zone and can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway.

CPS - has the Hudson Hotel which has extremely small rooms, even by NYC standards

Chelsea - some parts can be a little far from the subway, but it's a "happening" area right now with lots of cafes, bars, restaurants, boutiques, etc

OTHER ZONES:

Downtown and/or Soho - these are both away from central but they are usually a little cheaper (at least Downtown typically is) than midtown hotels and are do-able for the right price

Let us know your thoughts on which zone(s) you're willing to accept and we'll advise accordingly.
