oba3k Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 minimum stars? i guess 2. i dont care how small the room is, but i do want private bathroom. i will be arriving to the hotel very late, will sleep and check the luggage until the evening so i dont really care about the hotel or it's location.i gues my my budget is 180$ after tax. any higher and i will sleep at an airport hotel.

thereuare Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Clean isn't a factor? :)We really don't recommend such a low star rating in NYC... while some 2* hotels may be 'ok', others may not, and you can't choose which type you will receive.

oba3k Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 i guess you're right, so you say to go 2.5 and above?is there any chance to win at lower than 180? Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 In large cities, such as NYC, i prefer to stick with 3* rated hotels, but others may bid be 2.5* and be content with what they get... not sure of your own standards.Under $180 might be tough, but let su know what your minimum star rating is and we'll advise accordingly.

oba3k Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 because it's just one night 2.5 will do. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I forgot one more questions...Which zone(s) are you willing to accept? Is any zone on the isalnd Manhattan fine or do you only want to stay Midtown? Are you willing to bid Downtown? (which while not terrible, is not typically the most convenient for the average visitor) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

oba3k Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 3* Newark, one night, 11/2-11/3I want an hotel with airport shuttle (or it can be close to path station).am i taking a big chance, by bidding 3* on jeresy city or newark?at what price do you suggest to start bidding from? Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.Before moving on to a new area, how about a follow-up to the strategy presented above at your request? Did you try bidding as previously outlined above and it failed? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
oba3k Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Sorry for the new post, i thought that state triumphs day.I went until 160, and got rejected. In new jersey I can sleep in as less as half the price. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I want an hotel with airport shuttle (or it can be close to path station).The hotel can be anywhere within the shaded region. With priceline you can't guarantee a hotel shuttle... with HOTWIRE you can if the hotel shows the shuttle icon before your purchase.am i taking a big chance, by bidding 3* on jeresy city or newark?In what regard? If you're looking to commute to NYC on this stay the EWR is not recommended... you'll be commuting well over an hour each way.

oba3k Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 since i land in newark and 24 houres later i will departe from newark, i will have to commute to NYC twice. any advice? Link to comment
blindman Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 You've picked the weekend the New York marathon is run so my advice is avoid New York!I think you'll have a tough time getting decent\cheap digs.Sorry. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 any advice?As per above:The hotel can be anywhere within the shaded region. With priceline you can't guarantee a hotel shuttle... with HOTWIRE you can if the hotel shows the shuttle icon before your purchase.Can you take the risk of the hotel not offering a shuttle? If so, what is your maximum bid for a 3* in the EWR zone? If not, have you searched HOTWIRE to see what's offered?
