Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTW) Hilton New York

[Sunflower_77]

I'd like to stay for 1 night this weekend in New York City (8/25-8/26) using Priceline.

I tried many times but I always rejected by Priceline.

I wanted 3 or 2 and half star hotel around $100 in midtown areas.

Is $100 too low? Would you give me some advices on how to win the bitting?

Have you tried bidding for 4* hotels for $100? Despite the higher star rating, a 4* may still accept, given that prices do not seem extremely high for these dates. The 3*'s just may not have Priceline inventory or do not have inventory at the price you bid, but a 4* may. Worth a try.

While we occasionally see sub-$100 wins in NYC, this is more the exception than the rule, and i don't think that it will be enough for these dates.

What is your maximum bid for this stay? Which zone(s) are you willing to bid?

As a side note, we generally don't really recommend bidding less then 3* in NYC.

Hi!

Thank you for your replies! Probably the maximum bid would be $120... Any areas except Soho area would be good because I'd like to go see a Broadway show and MET. Soho seems a little far to stay. Should I put more than $100 to bid?

Thanks again.

Hi!

Thank you so much for bidding advice!!!

I got MTW Hilton New York for $120 a night through SavingsBarn.com. I selected 3* but somehow it was upgraded to 4*. So it worked out very well.

Thanks again.
