jab13 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 Hi!I am very new to hotel bidding and this site. Looking to stay in in NYC for my wife's birthday next week for two nights - March 13 & 14. Is 4* or high end 3* hotel possible in $150 a night range?Would appreciate any and all help!Thanks!Jason
thereuare Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Please keep all your posts for the same stay in the same thread... no need to cross-post between the Priceline and Hotwire sections of the board.Which zone(s) of your NYC are you willing to stay in?

BUt quality is key. Would also consider downtown. Preferably not uptown.
thereuare Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Well i don't think you're in the right price range for a 4* hotel for these dates, and if you're going to lower your star level and go the Priceline route, you can't choose which 3* property you'll yet, so you would need to be comfortable with any 3* property in the zone you bid (which it doesn't sound as if you are).Do you have any back-up reservation?

jab13 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 No back up reservations... what price range would I need to be at for a 4* hotel, in your opinon?
thereuare Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 Over $200/nite.Quickbook has some of the Affinia properties (Eastgate Tower, Beekman, etc) for the low $200's and they get very good reviews.

jab13 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 Follow-up - I ended up canceling the trip, but the advise was very helpful. Thank you.J
