Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* New York City (Times Square - Theater District) Novotel New York Times Square

[sslzzz]

I see a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal on 4.5* hotel Midtown East, 9.0+ rating. Pets allowed, Fitness center Restaurant, business center.  My travel dates are April 29 - May 5. Do you think there is any chance I will get this hotel for a lower price than the listed express deal which seems pretty good 256/night. Priceline has added fees over the taxes? so this price is just above the top of my budget which is around 260/night including tax.

 

Do you have a guess on what hotel this is?

 

I have been trying to get this hotel by expanding areas (include areas which either have 4.5* hotel I like just as well, or areas without 4.5* hotels) and rebidding. Is this the right strategy?

Welcome to BetterBidding :)

You can always try to undercut the listed price with bidding. But there's nothing that says that you'll get the same hotel with the 9.0+ rating.

PRICELINE includes a booking fee in taxes & fee's. The best way to check your total is to click on the green button (choose) in the listing and the next page will reveal your total. I believe the price has changed. I'm getting $270/night for this property. And the tax and fees comes to approx 52/night so your looking at approx $330/night all in, witch is above your budget (?).

 

Would you like us to try to ID the property or would you like to get help with a bidding strategy?

Yes, your free zones are the one without a 4.5* or higher. Please read this link: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained And please note that you can get a hotel that isn't reported to the board yet.
