scrapgal Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Hi, I need a room from 8/29-9/1. According to the Priceline map, looks like Empire State Building and Chelsea zones are closest to where I am going. I am taking my son to college - SVA. Any suggestions on when I should start the process?
AaronJB Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 If you are set on dates, then I would start the process now. What would be your desired max bid per night for this stay?

thereuare Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 What is your desired star rating? Is his dorm near the collage (23rd St and Third Ave)? Do you have 'stuff' to move in OR have all of his things been shipped ahead of time already?

scrapgal Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Posted August 5, 2015 3.5+ Yes, he's dorm is by the main building. We are taking his clothes with us and will be buying everything else when we get there. Family and friends gave us gift cards and cash for graduation...
thereuare Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 I'm not sure if $150 will be enough if only bidding these two zones, but you do have a chance, so we will start there and if rejected will review some of your other options... When bidding 3.5* in NYC you have ONE re-bid zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. Select 3.5* ESB... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* Chelsea... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* ESB and Chelsea... Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $135 If the above is rejected wait 2 hours from your last rejected bid and re-try, once again using this link to access PRICELINE: Select 3.5* ESB... Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* Chelsea... Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* ESB and Chelsea... Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $150 Any questions feel free to ask.
