VicStar Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi there, Can you please assist with bidding for hotels in the MTE or MTW or TS locations? It's our first trip to NY and we're willing to pay around $200 per night. We are not wedded to MTE, MTW or TS and only selected these locations for their convenience. If there is public transport close by, we'd happily go for a 3* in another location. Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks,Vic Link to comment
VicStar Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hello again, I just bid the following and received rejections 4.5* $192 MTE4.0* $201 MTE, MTW4.0* $205 MTE, MTW, TS, ESB Any comments or assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks,Vic Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 If you continue bidding on PRICELINE please wait for a bidding strategy as the approach you're currently taking isn't sound and could easily lead to an overbid. PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4* hotel in the UWS zone for $205/nite (and code METRO6 would take another 5% OFF) which would look to be the Empire Hotel: Outdoor Pool Pets Allowed Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center ... would this property be of interest? If you want to continue bidding have you considered MSG, Chelsea, and/or ESB? Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

VicStar Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi thereuare, Thanks very much for responding. Initially I was excited about Empire Hotel but after reading recent reviews, I'm extremely reluctant to go for the Priceline.Express deal. We would definitely like to continue bidding and try MSG, Chelsea or ESB too. I'll wait for a bidding strategy. Many thanks for your help. Vickie Link to comment

VicStar Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi thereuare, Thank you so much for the bidding strategy. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful at $210. Wondering where I go from here. Do I try the Financial District or increase the bid? Your comments would be most appreciated. Thanks,Vic Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in the MSG zone for $218/nite (Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Golf, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Roll-in Shower)... best guess the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel There is also a 4* HOTWIRE property in the Chelsea zone for $225/nite (Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly)... my guess here would be the Hotel Indigo Chelsea New York. PRICELINE EXPRESS has: 4* Chelsea hotel for $231/nite but code METRO6 takes an additional 5% OFF bringing this down to $220/nite (Restaurant, Business)... guess would be the Wyndham Garden Hotel Manhattan, Chelsea West. ... and a 4* Times Square property with Restaurant, Business Center, Fitness Center. Hard to be too confident with this amenity set but i think the Millennium Broadway Hotel is among the likely outcome. Thoughts on any of the above?
