Priceline Hotel: HELP with NYC bidding

[pasiee]

Dear Betterbidding users,

Foundout about BetterBidding on another site about getting hotels in New York haha.

So i was searching regular sites but the cheapest i could find was like Super 8 in North Bergen for $759.

Searching for:
- 3* or higher
- New York, Zone: Timesquare, Midtown east, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller center, madison square garden, midtown west, Chelsea area, Empire state building area.
- from 16 oct to 22 oct 
- Total price for those days like $750 included everything (breakfast not included is also fine)
- Baby is sleeping in the same bed as us.

I hope this is enough information and i hope that you guys can help me with bidding or have a great deal for me.

Best regards,

pasiee

Welcome to BetterBidding!

 

I'm very familiar with this area and will try to help...

Unfortunately this is high season in NYC and your all-in budget of $750 comes to about $125/nite... with NYC hotel taxes about 15% you're now looking at a room rate of about $110 before any booking fees, and that is not likely going to be realistic for these busy dates in NYC.

 

So where are you most likely to compromise on your criteria above... budget, star rating, or consider hotels outside of NYC that would make for a relatively easy commute into/out of the city?

Thankyou for your quick reply!

 

Maybe try long island also?

And 2 star rating is also okay

 

Can this make it easier?

I assume you mean Long Island City? (as Long Island is another part of New York and much further out)

 

How are you arriving to the area (plane, train, car, bus, etc) and where do you arrive?

Please reply to this thread in 24 hours as that will put it back in the queue to be reviewed, as the above will require more time then i have at the moment.

 

Thanks.

I'm commenting that the above is going to take some time for me to research (as your budget is very low for this area this time of year so a lot of options will need to be explored), and i don't have the time to do the research needed right now (will hopefully have that time starting Wed evening or Thursday morning).  By replying to this thread after Wed evening or Thursday morning it will put this thread back in the queue for us to review... this will ensure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
