joannyangel Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Am currently booked at a non-PL hotel (New York Helmsley), but want to try Priceline. Need three nights beginning 4/7. Prefer MTE, but can also do MTW or CP. Bidding suggestions welcome! :) Link to comment
Blueskies Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 What star level do you want to bid for? 4*?What rate do you currently have at the New York Helmsley? What would be your maximum bid? Link to comment
joannyangel Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yes, 4*. It's in my title, but hard to read I guess. My rate at the NYH is very good; it's a corporate rate of $180 that we are allowed to use for personal travel. I'd just like to try Priceline. If I didn't find a 4* for the same, I'm more than happy to leave well enough alone, believe me. The NYH is a 3* hotel.Thanks! Link to comment
