godafoss Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 We are looking for a room in NY from 9th of june to the 15th. We would like to stay at 4* Hotel at a good location MTE, MTW, TS, CPS, MSG, Chelsea, ESB. What is the best strategy and what prices can we excepct. Kind regards
AaronJB Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Unfortunately, given the rate/s that I'm seeing on HOTWIRE and elsewhere, $170 seems unlikely for these date/s. I'm guessing a 4* will likely take - depending on zone - moderately over $200. The issue really seems to be the first few days - I'm not sure what's going on, but the first half of this period is severely busy and expensive. Would you be against potentially splitting this stay? $170 still may be difficult, but splitting the stay may result in a better per night average, given how different rates are for the first half of this period vs second half. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
godafoss Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 I would be willing to split the stay. I noticed the high prices sure seems like a busy perioid.
thereuare Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 One more question before getting started... The CPS contains the Hudson Hotel which has notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards), would this be an acceptable outcome OR would this be acceptable if it's the lowest price property for your dates (or a sub-set of your dates if SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID)? (if not acceptable, we will exclude this zone from the bidding) Please confirm and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

godafoss Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 I think we should try to skip it and see if we have any luck?
