Jx2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Hi, We are coming to NYC for few days on March 22-24 (2 nights) and we would prefer to live in Manhattan island. I have read in this forum that people managed to receive a 4 stars hotel room for less than 100 USD per night. Is it possible to book a 4 star hotel via Price.line (using your links) for less than 100 USD for March 22-24? Or would we have to include 3/3.5 stars hotels as well? What strategy would you suggest to use? Our upper limit is around 100 USD/day. Thanks in advance!
thereuare Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! Rates are date specific and rates in March typically take more than $100/nite for a 4* hotel (which are often only accepted at the slowest of times, Jan/Feb and in the summer). Depending upon which zone(s) you include in your bidding, for your dates i think you're more likely looking at $100-$120/nite for a 4* hotel, and rates may not be that much cheaper for a 3.5* or 3* property. To begin, which zone(s) within Manhattan are you willing to accept? Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Jx2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for a quick response! We are willing to accept all the zones within Manhattan (we are zone indifferent, but would prefer not to stay in Brooklyn or Long Island).
thereuare Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Is Morningside Heights-Harlem acceptable?? To avoid any confusion, please list, by PRICELINE name, the zones that you are willing to accept. Also, are you able/willing to increase your maximum bid at all? Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Jx2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 Acceptable zones: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18. 13 is also kinda okay, but less than other zones. I guess we would be willing to increase our bids till 110 USD, especially if including 3/3.5 stars hotels won't lower price per night.
thereuare Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 To avoid any confusion, please list, by PRICELINE name...A new zone could be added at any time, or an existing zone re-named, and all of a sudden the zone numbers you referenced no longer have any meaning. Please list the zone names (as this also makes it easier for us on our end) ...13 is also kinda okay, but less than other zones.Also, this doesn't make it clear if we should be including this zone in your bidding or not.

Jx2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Sorry for that, I thought zone numbering is stable and it will be easier. Central Park South, Chelsea Area, Downtown - Financial District, Empire State Building Area, Hell's Kitchen, Lower East Side, Madison Square Garden, Midtown East, Midtown West, SoHo, Times Square, Upper East side, Upper West Side.

Jx2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, I didn't manage to land a deal for 110/night neither in 4, nor in 3.5 star hotels. We went on with a cheaper alternative. Will be using your forum for future trips.
AaronJB Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Thank you for closing the thread. Sharing what you did decide would be appreciated, as the information does help others who may be looking for these date/s. Enjoy your stay.
