fatbhoy Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Everybody.Im looking to book 2 x 4* rooms in or around Times Square 14th- 17th June 08.I have never used Priceline before, what range should my bids be to obtain a good price for above hotels.Any advice will be most welcome.Thanks
thereuare Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!I'd first read our personal thoughts regarding Hotels Near Times Square.To suggest a strategy for you to follow, we'll need to know which priceline zone(s) you're willing to accept and your maximum bid (so that we don't suggest a strategy which goes higher than you're willing to bid)... we'll then be able to advise accordingly.

fatbhoy Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks regarding your advice re Times Square. So bearing that in mind I would be looking at MTE, MTW or MTC.I am thinking up to $220 dollars per night including taxes if possible.
thereuare Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 1) Priceline now has it's own Times Square zone... are you willing to stay there as well (and we'll include it in a bidding strategy) or are you now looking to avoid the area?2) When you say MTC, are you refering to Priceline's UM/CPS zone3) Please let us know your maximum bid before taxes and fees.

fatbhoy Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 Yes please include Times square zone, Also Include UM/CPS zoneMaximum bis $200 before taxes.Thanks so much for your help so far.
