Hi, I currently have a refundable reservation on Sheraton Tribeca for USD 223 before taxes. I'm looking for 3* and up hotels maxing at USD 200/night including taxes in the following regions:

 

Central Park South

Chelsea

ESB

Greenwich Village

MSG

Midtown East

Midtown West

Times Square

Union Square - East Village

 

Could you help me plan a bidding strategy? Thanks in advance!

Please start by following-up your previous threads with whatever you decided to do for each trip:

Hotwire Curacao

Hotwire Aruba

Priceline San Francisco

Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.

Then, for your trip above...

NOTE that the CPS contains the Hudson Hotel, which while well located, has notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... would this be acceptable?

Also, please let us know your maximum bid price (before taxes/fees)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Sorry, I was unaware I had pending follow-ups. Done!  :)

 

CPS would not be an option, then. I would go as far as $160 before taxes; there's a 2.5* in Hotwire (ESB) offering free breakfast for $181/night.

Hi, I need help identifying a 2.5* ESB hotel in Hot.wire for $181~$175/night (getting different rates every time I check) from 10/30 to 11/02.

 

Full amenities:

Business center   Free Internet   Free breakfast   Restaurant(s)   Smoke-free rooms   Tennis nearby   Internet access

80% recommended (4.5/5 guest rating)

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but the Hotel Stanford would be a guess.

 

Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions.

Update: due to a huge devaluation of my currency against the dollar, my maximum bid price had to be readjusted to $135. Couldn't get anything for that price.

 

Fortunately I had a booking with Herald Square Hotel locked to my currency, so I will stick with it.

 

Once again, thanks for your help!
