Priceline Hotel: NYC hotels

[Adventurous]

We would like to go to NYC for 1 night on December 3 to December 4, 2017.  We are familiar with Times Square and near Bryant Park area.  My husband is very picky about where we stay.  He says only 4 star hotels but I don't want to pay more than $175.  Any suggestions of what area to stay and how to bid with Priceline.  First time using this service.  Usually book hotels where I have all the information.

Welcome to Betterbidding.

 

On PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm that the correct date of travel is showing on the detail page after clicking the link below.)

 

4.5* Times Square - Theatre District for $119
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>Guess would be the Westin Times Square or Sanctuary, but I'd lean more towards the Westin.

 

This would be a very good deal for a 4.5* in early December, which is traditionally one of the busiest periods of the year as it's prime time for holiday shopping and festivities.

 

You can bid using PRICELINE's Name Your Own Price, but you have to be willing to accept any hotel at the star rating picked in the zone chosen. PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE give enough information to make an educated guess as to which hotels are showing.

 

Let us know what you decide or if we can be of any further assistance.

 

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.

Thank you for the information.  Are the 4 star ratings with the Priceline express truly 4 star hotels?

[AaronJB]

Certainly, a hotel may not be everyone's cup-of-tea and opinions may vary, but PRICELINE EXPRESS 4* properties are 4*.

4* Times Square - Theatre District for $109

So is your husband OK with any of the hotels guessed above?

 

I have personally stayed at the Hilton Times Square which i think is an excellent deal at that price... you can exit the hotel directly on 42nd St if you you want to be right in the middle of it all, or alternately exit on for 41st St for a more relaxing pace.
