yguns Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Hi,I was originally looking to bid a 4* for May 27 to May 30 but was getting no where. So, I split my bid to May 28-30 and got a 4* for $125.Now, I need help in bidding for something on May 27.My hotel is at MTE for May 28-30 but for the 27th, I can stay anywhere in NYC. Prefer 4* but I guess a 3* would do.How much should I expect to pay? I think I would go as high as $175 for a 4*
thereuare Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Before suggesting a NYC strategy, any interest in staying in Jersey City with easy PATH access to Manhattan? I think rates at the Hyatt suggest you could get a very good deal at that property and cost you about half as much as a NYC hotel.Just throwing it out there if budget is a concern... let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for however you want to proceed.

yguns Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 Yes, the path is a very convenient way of going into the city. However, for this trip and the things we want to do on Sat., we would prefer to be in Midtown.I will use that option as a last resort if necessary.Thanks.
thereuare Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 To clarify... you're even willing to stay Downtown? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

yguns Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 I tried but kept getting rejected. Surprise too because others have gotten May 27 for $170 etc.So, I decided to give up this process and book the May 27 at the same hotel that I won for the 28-30th at the W Hotel. There is a deal going on now for $239 a night.
