ny4life Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share 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!! Link to comment

ny4life Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment

ny4life Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share 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?
