jordanwong Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi there, I am new to this website and I was wondering if I could get some help with using PRICELINE to book a hotel from February 19-23. I was hoping to stay at a 5 star hotel anywhere located between Chelsea to Upper East Side (essentially I do not want to be all the way by the Financial District as that seems to be very inconvenient). My maximum price would be $170, do you think this is possible? I have also taken a look at the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals, and these three hotels interest me. Do you by any chance know what hotels they are? Hotel 1: Madison Square Garden 4.5* - $140 Hotel 2: Chelsea Area 4.5* - $132 Hotel 3: Bryant Park 4.5* - $157 Thanks in advance for your help!

thereuare Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Welcome to BetterBidding! For help with any PRICELINE EXPRESS properties please include the amenities that PRICELINE EXPRESS associates with the offer (in addition to the star rating, zone, and room rate which you did include above). HOWEVER, what is it that you are looking for? You mention that you're seeking a 5* hotel, and there are 5* PRICELINE EXPRESS offers within your budget, but all the properties above are 4.5* hotels. I"m very familiar with NYC, if you let us know exactly what it is that you're looking for we can try to find you the best option that meets your needs.

jordanwong Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Thereuare, Thanks for getting back to me. Here is the updated list: Hotel 1: Madison Square Garden 4.5* - $140 Pets Allowed Business Center Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Hotel 2: Chelsea Area 4.5* - $132 Business Center Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Hotel 3: Bryant Park 4.5* - $157 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities And also in regards to the 5* hotel on Express, it has a 7+ rating so I assumed that it wasn't that great. Thanks again for your help! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Some of the things that I'm seeing (please confirm that the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the links below.) 4.5* Chelsea Area for $132 Business Center Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Possible match for the InnSide Nomad. 4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area for $140 Pets Allowed Business Center Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Even Hotel New York would be my guess. 4.5* Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park for $157 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Omni Berkshire would be my guess 4.5* Grand Central Terminal - UN for $113 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>One UN would be likely; reasonable price but this property is a bit out of the way at the far E border of the zone. 4.5* Times Square - Theatre District for $147 Business Center Restaurant Airport Shuttle Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Possible Premiere Hotel TS. 5* Chelsea Area for $199 Pets Allowed Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Guess would be Kimpton Eventi. Please keep us updated on what you decide and let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

jordanwong Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I am leaning towards either Omni Berkshire or Kimpton Eventi. I don't know if this is possible, but would I be able to bid for Eventi at a lower price? Thanks again for your help! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 When bidding on PRICELINE you have to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you bid... with PRICELINE EXPRESS (and HOTWIRE) you have the ability to take a guess as to the property being offered. If you saved a few dollars a nite but received a different 5* hotel in this zone would it be worth the savings? If so, then you could try bidding... if you'd like to target the Eventi then taking the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer would be a safer option. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know how it goes or, if you want to try bidding on PRICELINE, confirm your maximum bid and all of the zones (by priceline name) that are acceptable... we will then suggest a strategy for you to follow.
