tracyha Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Hi all- Trying to help my retired parents find a hotel in NYC midtown area (somewhat flexible on location) Thanksgiving week. Any advice? They would like to pay around $150 per night. Should I go Hotwire route or try Priceline bidding? Thanks.
thereuare Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 It depends what is most important to them... price or having an educated guess as to which property they will receive before their purchase. If you let us know we can advise better.Will you be making this purchase for them or will they be ultimately be making the purchase?

tracyha Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Posted August 8, 2007 Price is more important. I will be purchasing for them- through links on this forum of course!
thereuare Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 I'm assuming MTE, MTW and UM/CPS are all fine... how about MTS?What is their maximum bid? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
tracyha Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Posted August 8, 2007 MTS is fine also. Maximum bid of $165.00. Thanks.

tracyha Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 Had no success with bidding so parents went with package deal through travel agent. Ended up staying at Roosevelt Hotel which they recommend.
