Priceline Hotel: 11/30-12/8 first time user

[12333]

I'm kind of a first time user and need help.

Price $230

Location : doesn't matter- below 70st is ok. but want to avoid battery park if possible.

Star rating- I heard 3* NYC hotels are horrible(?) and would like stick to 4*

I used to stay in Novotel in Time Square at $150 per night in Aughst 2004 - it was oksy but the hotel was not comfy.(at that time i booked through Travelocity. I just want to stay SOMEWHERE WHICH IS CLEAN AND RELATIVELY NEW, EVEN IF IT IS SMALL.

New to priceline.

how do I start bidding?

how can I split bidding? by 3 days?

will appreciate if someone give me suggestion/instruction step by step

Please follow-up your previous Priceline NYC thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay. Then bump this thread and we'll comment regarding your stay above.

My trip was cancelled in September..I didn't know how to follow up my thread. I apologize

Anyway I have a backup plan but wtill would like to try priceline.

Nobody will know to look here to learn that your previous stay was cancelled... please follow-up that thread by posting a reply that your trip was cancelled.

Then bump this thread, letting us know where and how much of your back-up hotel. Also, to avoid confusion, please let us know the names of the priceline zones you're willing to bid (rather than 'below 70th Street').
