jgriff77 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 I’ve learned so much from this site – awesome! This is my first post though, as I’m tackling a work trip to NYC. I’m looking for a 3.5* (or greater - maybe 4*?) hotel room in Central Park South, Times Square or Mid-Town West. Arrive 5/20 for one night. I’ve seen deals on here for around $150 and would like to aim for that. Any advice? Would love suggestions and strategy and will DEFINITELY use your links! Thanks!!!
thereuare Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! Before bidding, note that the CPS has the Hudson Hotel, which while well located, has notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... your stay is only for one nite, but would this be an acceptable outcome? Also, seasonally this is an expensive time of year in NYC and at current rates i don't think that $150 is going to be enough for a 3.5* or higher property... something closer to the $200 area is more likely the price you're currently looking at for this nite (and also may require you to expand your zones to other midtown locations). Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board. Let us know your thoughts and we'll take it from there.

jgriff77 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Posted May 3, 2014 I'm OK with paying a little more, with expanding to nearby zones (including North into upper west and east sides) and a small room isn't a dealbreaker. Thanks! This is great.
jgriff77 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Posted May 3, 2014 I'm also happy to use Hot.wire, I'm just more Price.line literate.
thereuare Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 Any thoughts on MSG and/or Chelsea... would these work well for your plans as well? Please let us know if we should include the two zones above or only MTW, TS, and CPS? Are you willing to increase your bid or keep it at $150? Please confirm the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

jgriff77 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Posted May 3, 2014 I'm good with MSG and upper west side, in addition to the original three. OK up to $200. Thanks!!
