starfish223 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Need 3 rooms for me and my sisters +kids, 2 rms with 2 double beds in NYC -midtown2/24/06 - 2/26/06. Any idea how to get something decent for around $100? Was thinking of using Priceline, but concerned about no room info.
thereuare Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 Welcome to BetterBidding!You can't guarantee the number of beds in a room with Priceline, all that is guaranteed is a room that will accomodate at last two people.You can try Hotwire which allows you to search for up to quad occupancy, but i doubt there will be too much within your stated budget.

starfish223 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Posted January 19, 2006 I got 4 rms at the 3* Roosevelt Hotel in midtown for $100 per night, accessed through savingsbarn.com on 2/24/06-2/26/06. Then got one extra room on 2/27 at Radisson on Lexington, just around the corner, for $100 also (had to book extra night separately).I was concerned about lack of guarantee for room size, because my sisters are traveling with kids, but was able to get upgrades for their rooms for two double beds at $30 per night fee (hotel policy). We are all excited to have a weekend in NYC for such a good price. Now we have some money to spend on restaurants and theater!Thank you for assistance.
thereuare Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 Congratulations on your success!!Thank you for sharing your win with the board and for using the links at SavingsBarn.come to begin your bids. Was $100 your first bid in this zone?Nice that the hotel was able to confirm the double bed situation (even though at an extra charge, which i oppose in this instance since this hotel charges the same rate for a King bed vs. two Doubles on their website) and at least now you don't have to worry about it.Can you please post a NEW TOPIC for your Radisson win so that others will be able to see it when scanning on the forum's topic titles and/or when using the board's SEARCH function and using "titles only" as a search criteria.Thanks again, and have a great trip and enjoy your stay in NYC!PS- as i usually do, try Ess-A-Bagel for an inexpensive breakfast one morning (51st St and Third Ave)... walkable from this hotel and one of the best bagels in NYC Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
