Priceline Hotel: 4* - MTE,MTW?,Time Square - Bidding Assistance

[nel1215]

Hi,

I will be traveling to the east coast from 12/27 to 1/6. Looking to stay in New York the first part of the trip and be there in Time Square for the countdown. So, hopeful to find something from 12/27 to 1/1 or 1/2. The rest of the trip, I'm planning on driving to Washington and Maryland and will be back at JFK to fly out on 1/6. I've won the Hilton on Ave of America for $99 a night but this was 3-4 years ago. And, since this is a popular time to travel, I don't expect to get it for that much.

Do you recommend a starting point and what amount of money I should expect to spend a night? I'm pretty much set on these areas as most of the stuff we do will be situated in Time Square. However, if its a VERY significant amount of savings, I'd reconsider.

This is what I get on hotwire:

4* MTE - $239/nite

4* Time Square - $383/nite

3.5* Time Square - $329/nite

3.5* MTE - $286/nite

Did they take out MTW? I haven't kept up in years.

What do you suggest a good starting point to be? And, what do you think I would be able to win this realistically? Thanks for your help!

There is no MTW zone on hotwire... it's included in their MTC (Midtown Central) zone. Hotwire also has a Times Square zone, which sits inbetween the equivalent MTE and MTW zone on Priceline.

What are the amenities associated with the 4* adn 3.5* MTE hotels via HOTWIRE?
