godbody99 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Need help developing a strategy for nyc with our first night being the 8th and the last night being the 10th. I am pretty much agnostic to the neighborhood as long as it is in Manhattan, except for maybe LES, or Harlem, washington heights, etc. I would like for it to be 3 star and up if possible, and low price is a priority. Is it better to break this up and bid for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then bid on Monday seperately? I would prefer not to change hotels, but if that is likely to keep the total cost down then I would be willing to do it. Other than that just looking for a low cost strategy, thanks.
AaronJB Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 What would be your desired budget per night for this stay? This period isn't going to be as cheap as Jan/Feb are in NYC, but it's far enough before rates start moving higher in the second half of March and into April Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
godbody99 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 I mean my brother just got 70/night earlier this month for a Holiday Inn express, so I would like that obviously, but I am guessing heading into MArch that is less likely. However, I believe the max we would look at is maybe 300 before tax, etc.
thereuare Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 If you're zones are wide open i'm guessing that you're likely looking in the $100-$120 to be successful for a 3* or better hotel. To avoid any confusion, please list by PRICELINE name the zones you are willing to accept, as well as if a strategy up to $120 would be acceptable (we will of course start lower), and we will advise accordingly.

godbody99 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 Up to 120 would be fine. Question though, would it be any cheaper you believe if we shortened our stay to not include Monday night? The acceptable zones for me are: Central Park SouthChelseaDowntown - Financial DistrictEmpire State BuildingHells KitchenMadison Square GardenMidtown EastMidtown WestQueensboro BridgeSOHO - TribecaTimes Square - Theater DistrictUpper East SideUpper West Side
thereuare Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Your cost per nite may go down by ~$10/nite if you drop the Monday nite. Let us know which set of dates you'd like to try for first, and your maximum bid, and we'll suggest a strategy to follow based upon the zones you have indicated above.

godbody99 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 I would like to try for 3/8, 3/9, and 3/10 with your suggested maximum bid of 120.

godbody99 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Posted August 30, 2015 So I think this deal was pretty decent, 103 bucks for the Holiday Inn. I don't see it on the list of 3* priceline hotels, but the specific Holiday Inn was the one on W 57th st. The location was great, and rooms were fine. Cant beat 100 for NYC. Thanks everyone!!!
AaronJB Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 Congrats on your success. :) Very good deal for this property and glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.
