JoshMiller Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi all, This is my first time using Priceline (or hotwire) for a hotel. A friend of mine uses it all the time and suggested I post here for help. I'm looking for a 4* hotel in in midtown. (I havent been to NYC in a couple of years, so I'm flexible on where I stay). There seems to be a fair range in successful bids in MTE and MTW, but I am thinking of the following:4*MTE 100MTE UES 110MTE UES UWS 120MTE UES UWS UMCPS 130MTE UES UWS UMCPS MTW 140. I recognize that adding UMCPS and MTW means I may get a hotel in one of those regions. Our itinerary is mostly walk around, eat a lot, and maybe see a show, I don't see that as a problem. We don't plan to spend much time in the hotel, so I don't need a lot of amenities. Should I include 3* in my search, if the 4* fails? (Price is more important than amenities, to a point). I'd appreciate any comments or advice. (I see that MTE has a 5* hotel in the region. Should I include bids for 5*?)ThanksJosh Link to comment
