Priceline Hotel: Subway Access for Priceline Hotels

[atlbkk03]

Are all Priceline's Manhattan hotels accessible by subways? Are there any areas I should avoid if I plan to rely heavily on a subway use?

Have you seen these Maps?

As long as you stay below CPS you will be in the best zone for the subway, although you are never more than a few blocks from a station anywhere in Manhattan, and you can always connect from one line to another in Midtown. Most of the hotels in Midtown are concentrated near the subways so you should be OK.

I tried to bid for a Manhattan hotel for a Labor Day weekend trip (Sep 2-4) with bids up to $130 with no luck. All rebid strategies have been used. From recent posts, it seems the winning bid for a 4-star hotel won't come below $150, which is kind of out of my price range.

I just followed thereuare's bidding strategy from Aug. 24-27, w/Aug. 27 checkout, and I went as high as 130 but got rejected every time. I'll have to try again tomorrow. Not going higher just yet! If this happens after a few tries I will give in and go higher.

Still a NO for $135 bid for a 4-star hotel in MTW, MTE, CPS, DT, MTS for Sep 2-4

Bid $100 for Jersey City - Rejected

Add Elizabeth and bid $105 - Rejected

Has anyone been successful for the Labor Day weekend bids?

With both HW and the hotel web-site having rates over $250 I doubt there's PL inventory yet.
