fairfranco Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Hi,very basic question i'm sure you can answer but I'd like to know what "Guaranteed late night arrival" means on priceline when looking to book hotels.
fairfranco Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Posted October 18, 2005 Hi,i'm new to this forum and the whole priceline thing but i'll try to give you the details needed so that i can get some help!i'm going to New York in Janury and would like to Find a 4 or 5 Star hotel for one night of my stay.15th January. or possibly 14th and 15th January.Anywhere in the Midtown area is good.Can anyone give me any good tips on how to get the best prices and hotels from these sites, suggest one over the other etc?And obviously how much would be a good amount to bid for a room of 4 or 5 Star in New Yorkthanks
thereuare Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Guaranteed for late nite arrival means that the hotel will not release your reservation (and give your room to another guest) if you don't show up by 6pm.As far as bidding for the above stay, rates in NYC are usually fairly inexpenisve (by NYC standards) in January... but you'll need to firm up your plans and determine the dates of your stay before we'll be able to take a look. Once you're plans are firm (as your accepted bids are non-cancellabel/non-changable/non-refundable) we'll take a closer look and suggest a strategy for you to follow to help you get the best deal.
