mac4daddy Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Hi all -I started the bidding process using the link provided, and then I realized that I might run into some issues with the # in my party. We're visiting the city around Valentine's Weekend, and I plan on using PRICELINE. I know that there are no guarantees with the # of beds, but I'd like to get your feedback regarding getting a PRICELINE hotel and the hotel's policy with a party of 4.We're very flexible, and know that we will only be at the hotel for sleeping and showers since most of the time we will be exploring the city. Any suggestions?BTW, I saw a post where someone mentioned paying in the $100 range, someone was able to get the following hotels via PRICELINE:- NH Jolly Madison - $86 per night (weekend of 2/14 - same weekend we are going)- Club Quarters Wall Street - $105 per night (using Express Deals)I'm just not sure how many people are in their party.I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
mac4daddy Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Posted January 25, 2014 I read through various threads, including Tripadvisor, and I decided not to use PRICELINE, instead I used HOTWIRE. Priceline only guarantees 1 bed for up to 2 people. I know in past occasions, that has happened to me where the hotel I was awarded won't budge in giving me a room 2 beds since it was not part of the Priceline deal.I also checked Travelzoo, but as expected, they're over $200 per night (some in the $300 range for that holiday weekend). NOt only is it Valentines Day weekend, it's also a 4-day weekend - President's Day weekend. So I used HOTWIRE, and indicated there's 4 in my party, and I'm happy with the results. I opted to choose a hotel with 4-stars and 90% recommendation...Here's what I got and I'm happy!! New York Hilton Fashion District (4 stars -90% recommended) at $156/night. I also took advantage of the $25 off by using APP25 codeBefore taxes and fees = $312.00 (for 2 nights) Taxes: $73.20Occupancy tax: $0.00Fees: $26.88Subtotal: $412.08Discount: -$25.00Trip Total: $387.08
