Priceline Hotel: 3* NYC (MTW) Paramount Hotel

[chagnee]

Hello there

Just requesting some bidding assistance for a NYC trip from April 7 until April 11. I'd like a 3* or 4* in MTW, UM-CPS or (rather not, but still ok) MTE.

My brother and I are on a student budget so we're looking to spend no more than 110$ per night.

Thanks a bunch for any help you can offer!

If successful, the following strategy will most likely result in the Paramount, which has notoriously small rooms but a good location. As i think you have a decent chance, i'll suggest starting with what is below, and if rejected we'll then add MTE to the mix.

When bidding 3* you have one re-bid zone availalbe. 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* MTW...

Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $95, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 3* UM/CPS...

Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $95, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 3* MTW and UM/CPS...

Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $105.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks a bunch for your advice... But alas, there were no hotels available for $105 or less. I raised the amount and even bidded $115 for a 2.5* in MTW as I was hoping to get the Belvedere.

Tonight I tried again and fortunately this time around my bid was accepted. I ended up getting:

3* NYC (MTW) Paramount Hotel
