Priceline Hotel: help for a 3 nights stay around time square area

[everwood]

At the end of March 2007, a 3 nights stay around time square area

my budget is 300 dollars. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

"Times Square" is not a priceline zone... which zone(s) are you willing to bid?

What are the actual dates of your stay? What star rating are you seeking?

[everwood]

Then I guess it's Midtown West.

I plan to stay between Mar. 28 and Mar. 31. 3 nights.

Thanks a lot!

What star rating are you seeking?

[everwood]

4? seems not easy to find.

3 star is ok.

[thereuare]

Is your $300 budget a total for all three nites or per nite? Is that 'all-in' including taxes and fees?

[everwood]

300 is for the whole three nights

is that possible?

[thereuare]

It's not very likely... and if you're including taxes and fees, it's very unlikely.

What is the best rate you've been able to find from traditional sources? (use our BetterChecker as an easy way to research different sources)

[everwood]

thanks for the info.

so, with my budget, what kind of hotel is possible?

thanks

If $300 "all-in" (including fees and taxes) you're looking at a maximum bid of about $83 and i can't recall the last time we've seen a 3* or higher win at that amount or less in NYC. Occasionally we see a 2.5* within that range, but it's usually more the exception than the rule.

Have you looked at rates thru traditional means? (use our BetterChecker)

Please first follow-up your previous Priceline New York City thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll have a look and comment regarding the above.

Sorry about that. I actually didn't bid. And ended up commuting between philly and NYC for those three days....
