Priceline Hotel: 4* New York (Midtown East) New York Marriott East Side

[AlexBeezer]

Good afternoon,

I've been trying to book this deal for the past week or so...but everytime I try (because the deal comes and goes), it says : "Please note: Pricing and inventory changes often and the deal you selected is no longer available. However, we still have the following deals below."

 

I don't really understand why this deal keeps on coming back every 2 days (maybe there's a very limited inventory for this deal?).

 

While we're there, can you please help out identify this hotel?

 

4 STAR - TIMES SQUARE - THEATRE DISTRICT

DEC. 15TH TO DEC. 17TH.

131$ USD / night

 

Amenities : 

Free Internet        
Business Center        
Fitness Center        
Non Smoking      
Pets Allowed        
Restaurant

 

Thank you very much!

 

Alex

I'm not seeing this property on a current PRICELINE EXPRESS search so am unable to research it.

 

However, i'm very familiar with NYC... is there something in particular that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip and what is your maximum budget for this stay? (per nite before fees/taxes)

Thanks for your reply!

 

I dug a little bit more and the only match would be the Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel (the amenities are a match + the 70% off is exactly 70% from the original Priceline price (I know it's not always 70% off the same hotel, but 70% off a similar hotel in the same zone). 131$ vs 444$. That would be an awesome deal. No wonder why it comes and goes so fast.

 

As for your question, I'm looking for a great 4 star hotel (I'm looking for a deal). I saw that the Marriott Downtown was available for cheap on Hotwire and the Marriott East Side is available on Priceline, but I'm for something maybe a bit more trendy than the Marriott (I loved the Hudson, loved the Row, etc). I'm looking to be near Midtown / Central Park South / Bryant Park (so let's say from Central Park to the 34th, between Park and 9th ave.

 

Budget before taxes and fees would be 130-140$ USD / night (which is low right now).

 

I will keep on looking, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know.! :)

I'm not seeing the listing in the original post either, but given what rates are for these dates, I'd really suggest considering taking it while it's available. The cheapest 4* that I'm seeing for these dates in this zone is $210. This is right at the end of what is traditionally one of the busiest periods of the year in NYC (around the first half of December), so options under $140 are unfortunately quite limited.

 

I'm seeing on PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the links below.)

4* Midtown East for $136
Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>A guess would be the Marriott East Side. 

 

That's the only thing I'm seeing on PRICELINE EXPRESS at the 4*+ level in this range.

 

Boutiques, but more expensive:

 

4.5* Union Square - East Village for $210
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>This would be a possible match for the W Union Square.

 

5* Central Park South for $234
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>This would be a possible match for the Viceroy.

Thank you very much.

 

I've been trying to take the deal, but I'm always late as it always says : "Please note: Pricing and inventory changes often and the deal you selected is no longer available. However, we still have the following deals below."

 

I'll try again once the deal comes back.

 

I'll update you on what I ended up doing.

[AlexBeezer]

The deal is indeed unavailable if I follow the "Betterbidding link", but still appears if I go directly to Priceline.

 

I'll just wait and see if it comes back via the Betterbidding link.

[thereuare]

I don't see it regardless of whether i search directly thru PRICELINE EXPRESS, using a BB PRICELINE link, or thru our BiddingHelper.com.

 

Let us know if it re-appears, if you go for it (or want to us to have a look), or if you decide to move on and consider other options.

Good luck!

The 500 verified reviews if throwing me off a little bit. The only 4-star hotel that has between 500-599 verified review is the Marriott East side, but I don't know if I can trust this element alone.

4* Midtown East for $136
Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>A guess would be the Marriott East Side, with the Renaissance 57th as a slight other possibility.

I'll let you guys edit the title of this post to represent my win.

Congrats on your success.

 

Really nice rate for this time of year, as December tends to be busy especially for the first few weeks.
