wrexter Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi All can you please assist me in finding a reasonable hotel in Manhattan from 16th to 23rd Sept. Don't really know where to stay, want to be reasonably close to transport and safe area. Would like to keep budget around $150 a night but this may not be achievable. I see a fellow member scored the Hilton Manhattan East for $140 a night from 1st September, would be happy with that. Thanks for your help in advance. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Please provide a follow-up for your prior Miami Hotwire thread (post what you decided for that stay within that thread, then reply to this thread and we would be happy to take a look at the above post.) Additionally, for this above stay - do you have any points of interest that you want to be near, any plans? With bidding, you have to be willing to be anywhere in the selected zone, which may mean a hotel not *right* near transit. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
wrexter Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi thank you for the reply I am still looking for hotel in Miami and haven't selected. There is no particular point of interest as long asi am reasonably close to transport. i dont know much about NYC but we dont mind walk 10/20 mins to a subway if that helps? Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I am still looking for hotel in Miami and haven't selected.Can you please respond the last question(s) posted in that thread and update with your current thoughts for that trip. Have you made any PRICELINE / HOTWIRE purchases for the other leg(s) of your trip? Also, for NYC, what is your minimum star rating for this trip? As your budget is going to be a bit of a stretch we will need to know more information as far as what is important to you for this stay so we can come up with options.

wrexter Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 My minimum star rating would be about 3 i think but would be over the moon with a 4 star in my budget. I havent made a PRICELINE or HOTWIRE purchase as yet, i have been a little busy and want to sort out all my accomodation in the next couple of weeks before we head off to the USA (4th Sept) Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 At the moment there doesn't appear to be much difference in price between 3* and 4* hotels, but currently you'll likely need to be near $200/nite to be successful for either for these dates. We can suggest a strategy for whatever bidding limit you'd like, but as i don't think your budget is enough for any zones in Manhattan, please let us know which zones you'd like to bid and/or if you're willing to increase your budget at all, and we'll take it from there.

wrexter Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hmm ok, is there a possibility that prices can reduce in the next couple of weeks as we get closer (i.e. 1 month before)? I do understand NY is more expensive than other cities and am prepared to pay up to $200, especially for a 4*. But if there is a possibility of paying less by waiting a week or two i dont mind. I thought September would be a quieter time with better rates? Can you please suggest zones in NY? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Unfortunately, NYC becomes expensive in September and rates remain high until around halfway through December, with few exceptions. There is no way to know if rates will come down closer to your stay, but traditionally this is a busy period - rates can also go higher. I would recommend Midtown, although Midtown East, Empire State Building and MSG are often less expensive than Times Square and Midtown West. Given how busy the period is, I'd try as many options as possible to give yourself more of a chance - Central Park South and Chelsea are also worth considering.
