Priceline Hotel: 2.5* NYC Airports (Brooklyn) Holiday Inn Express

[Ralph P.]

Hello.

I'd like to stay in NYC from the 9th of July to the 15th of July.

My budget each day is around 60-80$

Any tips how to get a hotel? I don't have any preference for the area, should be safe and not more than 30-40 minutes to manhattan.

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Your post states that you want to stay in Manhattan but then goes on to state that you want to be 30-40 minutes commute into the city.

What exactly is it that you're seeking?

[Ralph P.]

I suppose that it's hard to get a hotel in Manhattan for 60-80$ so it's also ok for me to commute. But my preference would be to live in Manhattan.

Yes, you're budget is not likely enough for a hotel in NYC.

What is the minimum star rating you're willing to accept?

I also see that you have another Priceline Chicago thread which includes the same dates as above... are your plans for this trip(s) firm? Which location will you actually be in?

Hi.

Thanks for your close read of my posts. I assume I got something wrong in the dates.

I like to come to NY from 9th-15th July, just booked my flight 3 days ago.

I am willing to go down to a 2-2,5 Stars hotel if it's clean etc. (you know...).

Thanks for your help!

Glad you found something that works well for your plans and within your budget.

Was this on priceline? If so, what was the amount of your bid? (before taxes and fees?)

[Ralph P.]
