Priceline Hotel: Trying to get a room 4* in midtown NY for 200 but no luck - any tips?

[anonyme999]

Hey guys,

 

Trying to book a room in NY on hotwire for 6 oct to 10 oct (4 nights) but not having any luck for less than $200. Is that usual?

 

Is it always better to look further in advance or closer to the date?

 

I've seen a few people get for less than $150 so just wondering if there are any tips anyone has.

 

Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Rates really do depend greatly on the date/s (and seasons), so what users may be getting now does not reflect what it may take for the Fall, which is traditionally one of the busiest periods of the year. There is no way to know if rates will come down between now and the trip but - at least traditionally - this has been a busy period.

 

What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay and which zone/s have you bid on/would be acceptable?

 

You can also use our service, ratedrop.com, to get alerts on price declines on Hot.wire listings, Price.line Express listings and regular rate listings.

Hi, I am trying to book NY for $200 a night or less for 3-4* in mid october.

 

Atm prices seem high on priceline and im not getting any successful bids.

Please keep all posts for this stay within this thread - thanks.

 

What is the max you have bid so far?

 

As noted, this period is - at least traditionally - busy.

Also...

Which zones, by PRICELINE name, have you already bid? Have you gone up to $200/nite for a 3* hotel in all of these zones so far?
