dmuller Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Hi, I will be in nyc this period.What's a good strategy to get a 4 star hotel in midtown westwing? I'm thinking about spending usd150 per day maximum....Hilton ny midtown is in this range, right?Thanks
thereuare Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding... we've been waiting for your first post! When you say 'midtown westwing' are you referring to the MTW zone only... or is Times Square, MSG, Chelsea, etc. also acceptable? Please confirm which zones, by PRICELINE name, you're willing to accept and we'll advise accordingly. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Can i also ask why only the MTW zone? With most NYC zones geographically small, so close together, and mass transit relatively inexpensive and easily accessible, most users find multiple zones accessible... why is MTW the only zone that works for your needs? This is still generally considered peak season for new york as rates don't really drop into summer starts. At current rates, if you only want MTW, i think you're looking more at the $230-$250 area... you're best deal at the moment, while still generally being centrally located, looks to be in the ESB zone, where i think you can get something in the $165-$185 range. We can suggest a strategy for whatever you'd like to try, but based upon the above let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to move forward and we'll take it from there.

dmuller Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah, that's true!!! We can try then the following zones: - Midtown West (MTW)- Times Square District (TSQ)- Madison Square Garden (MSG)- Central Park South (CPS)- Midtown East (MTE) With this zones, do you think I got a better chance of spending 150 bucks? Thanks so much for your patient and attention. Regards, Daniel - from Brazil
dmuller Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Well, maybe if 150 is hard, my limit would be 185. Easier? Thanks again!
thereuare Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 We can start with the above, but note that in the CPS zone is the Hudson Hotel, which is well located but has notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... would this be an acceptable outcome? If you are willing to accept this property then include CPS in the bidding below, otherwise exclude it from the bidding (in parenthesis below to decide if you want to include/exclude) When bidding 4* in NYC you have ONE re-bid zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. Select 4* MTW...
