sham Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Is there any possibility I could get a GREAT deal this weekend? I would stay anywhere in Manhattan(3 adults and a 16 year old)3 stars is fine, I would like 2 rooms for 180/nite per room.Am I crazy? I've never used priceline or hot wire.I currently have a reservation for 1 room 2 queens at the BestWestern Seaport Inn, but 2 rooms would be better...
thereuare Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 The nite of 10/12 in NYC is extremely busy/expensive and at current rates i am doubtful that $180 will be enough for a 3* or better for this stay (if you only wanted the nite of 10/13 it would be very easy to get something under $180/nite)If you'd like to give it a try anyway please list by PRICELINE name the zones that you are willing to accept and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.What is the rate you have at the Best Western for quad occupancy? (please check for and use the links in our Support Page for your future hotel direct purchases, where we have links to most of the major hotel chains and online booking agencies, including the Best Western)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

sham Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Posted October 10, 2013 Thank you for responding so quickly. I'm not very savvy on the computer, it took me a while to find your reply. I will be paying $657.66 total for 2 nights, 2 queens, wifi, and continental breakfast (for 4 people). I can cancel up until 10/11 4PM. I'm happy with the price, I just would prefer not to sleep with my 16 year old daughter!I would be willing to stay in zones 2,3,5,6,7,9,11,12,15, and 16. My friend and I are splitting the cost.
thereuare Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 I'm not very savvy on the computer, it took me a while to find your reply.You can always find your posts on the board using the drop down menu at the very top of the board where it says "Can't Find What You're Looking For? Where to post??". From the drop down menu select I WANT TO... Find My Contnet and you'll then see all the topics on the board that you have started or posted to.I will be paying $657.66 total for 2 nights, 2 queens, wifi, and continental breakfast (for 4 people). I can cancel up until 10/11 4PM. I'm happy with the price, I just would prefer not to sleep with my 16 year old daughter!Unfortunately i'm not seeing anything close to $180... you can try bidding and/or continue to search HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS (use our BiddingHelper.com to search both at once to save time ;) ) and hope that a hotel drops their prices at the last minute to fill any unsold rooms, but at the moment, i just don't see $180 as being realistic.I would be willing to stay in zones 2,3,5,6,7,9,11,12,15, and 16.The zone numbers will change whenever PRICELINE adds, removes, or renames a zone. If you'd like us to suggest a strategy for you to follow, please list the zones by PRICELINE name and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

sham Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Posted October 11, 2013 You're very patient,thank you! The numbers I gave were attached to the priceline.map of Manhattan.I would be willing to stay in Central Park S,Chelsea, Downtown,Empire State Building area,Hell'sKitchen,Lower East SideMidtown E,Midtown W,SoHO, orTimes Square.I know it's unrealistic to think I'd find 2 rooms for 180/night.It just seemed like a good opportunity to find out how to bid,as I have a room already at a price I can live with. I am nervous that this experiment would leave me with inexpensive rooms at the cost of potential smoky smelling or one double bed for 2 people. I have until 3 PM today to try this.
