giadav Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I want to book a hotel for 4 people 1 room. 1/7/06 - 1/08/06. MTC $265. Amenities are Rest, Fitness, Business Center, Customer Favorite. I thought this was the Sheraton Tower Hotel but on the Starwood site I can make a non refundable reservation for $179 (special until 12/9)What do you think?Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Nice to see you around the board. :) What is the star rating of the above MTC hotel?The $179/nite rate at the Sheraton is only for double occupancy... increase the occupancy to four and the rate jumps to $239/nite. (still a bit cheaper than the Hotwire offer above), but raises the question...Why do you want one room for four people?I would sooner use Priceline and get two rooms, which i think you can do for less than the $265/nite rate above, and you'll have much more room at the hotel and be more comfortable.If you're open to this, i would bid for 2 rooms as follows:Select 4* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and MTE and UM/CPS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130.Based upon previous wins i think you have a very good chance of success in the first cycle of bidding above.Let us know if the above is an option for you and if you try it how it goes... if not an option let us know why and we'll pursue it further.

giadav Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 2 rooms is a great idea. I didn't realize I could book 2 rooms at the same time on priceline. Thanks for the strategy. I'll let you know how I make out (thru savingsbarn.com) of course :) Link to comment

thereuare Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well this certainly looks more comfortable, and cheaper, than squeezing four people into one NYC hotel room!Glad it worked out well for you.Have a great time in the city!
