ny4life Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 We will be traveling to New York with a party of 5. We will need two rooms (4 adults and 1 child). We have stayed at the Park Central before and loved the proximity to everything. We would like to stay there again but want to get a great price also. Our high bid would be $175. Any recommendations to get this hotel or a nicer one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

ny4life Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 I would be willing to bid in Upper Midtown, Midtown West, Midtown East, or Midtown south for any 3* hotel, unless you would recommend something different based on our previous preferences. Any help developing a bidding strategy would be most helpful.

ny4life Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 The bidding strategy suggested failed for all price levels. Would you suggest waiting a while and trying again, or going a different route (hotwire, et al)? Thanks for your help.
thereuare Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 I don't think there is a "different route" as Priceline will likley be your cheapest option and your budget currently isn't enough for these dates.Do you have any current back-up reservation that is anywhere near your budget?
