lk009 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 Hi Please help with strategy. Desirable areas: Theater district Midtown East Midtown West Empire State Building 4* We would like to not to spend more than 150. Should we try Price.line first? Thank you!
AaronJB Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 Are you looking to spend $150 "all-in" (with taxes/fees included) or $150 + taxes/fees? If you don't mind the total being a possibly a tad over $150 after taxes/fees, I do think you can certainly find a hotel within your budget, particularly in MTE (where Hot.wire has a 4* for $157) and the ESB area (where Hot.wire is showing a 4* for $163 that has a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating, so that property certainly gets excellent reviews.) Given the excellent reviews of the ESB listing on Hot.wire, that may be of interest, as well. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
lk009 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Posted May 13, 2014 I was hoping not to go over 150 with tax max 180.Thanks!
