Priceline Hotel: Looking for 3.5* Hotel 6/22 - 6/26

[greenwood]

I am looking for a hotel in a walking distance to Broadway theater area.

I consider Times Square amd Central Park South. Is Rockefeller Center a good location?

Which location is better as a family vacation?

Which location is cheapest among the three?

I still have some time so I can try multiple bids. What will be a good starting price on those location?

Welcome to Betterbidding. 

 

Bidding only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy. While you can contact the hotel after booking to request more than one bed, the hotel could say no or charge more. In NYC, unfortunately it's highly likely the hotel will say no. If you need two beds, I would suggest using HOTWIRE, where you can search for the amount of people in the party (and get bedding - may be 2 beds, 1 + rollaway or 1 + sofabed) for the amount of people indicated. Some PRICELINE EXPRESS listings will also show bed choice as an option, although 2 beds may not be one of the options listed.

 

What would be your desired budget per night for this stay?

Thank you for the response.

I know about 1 bed/double occupancy policy on priceline.

My daughter is small soour family can squeeze at 1 bed in worst case.

 

I'm looking for $150 - $180 range.

If you look at the Central Park zone on PRICELINE, if you were to receive a hotel that was in the northeast corner of the zone (say 60th St and Park Are) would you consider that to be close enough to the 'Theater District' to be walk-able? (it's do-able, but probably about 20 minutes for an adult... not sure how a young child would handle it)

 

Do you really need to be walking distance to the theater area?  How many times do you intend to go to the theater this trip... usually being a short taxi ride OR near a subway line is 'convenient enough'.

 

Have you been to NYC before?  What are your plans while in the city?

Walking distance to the theater is better to have but not a requirement.

I have been to New York 10 years ago and I stayed at one of the hotels in that area(I cannot remember which hotel it was), and I have a good memory.

We will hang around in the city(city tour, museum, musical, ...) using subway so if there is any other recommended place, I am willing to try that.

I prefer a safe place so that I can take a walk at night.

I'm hoping the administrator can respond.  I have read through the materials but I'm still completely befuddled about how this works.  Similar to greewood, I want a hotel (2 people two nights, June 21-23) in the Times Square Theater district.   Is what I see in your 8:56 post what I might be likely to get if I use the Priceline Express Deals?  I would LOVE to get that Doubletree for for 159!   How do I either get that or get a sense of what I will get in I use the Express Deals option or place a bid.  I really just don't understand. Many thanks for your help!
