Rotherham Lass Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 My friend and I are planning a trip to New York in February. We would like to stay in minimum 3* hotels and need 2 beds. We will be in New York from 15th February to 17th February 2008. The average price on Priceline says $239 per night. We don't mind what hotel we stay in as long as it is in Midtown Manhattan.We would like to get it for less than $160 per night exc tax if possible. Can anyone suggest what we could bid? Should we bid now as it is only 4 weeks away? I know it will be difficult to guarantee 2 beds but this would be a want rather than a necessity due to budget.Thanks a lot for all your help in advance!
thereuare Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 as long as it is in Midtown ManhattanI assume MTE, MTW, UM/CPS, MTS and Times Square are all acceptable? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
