Priceline Hotel: 3* NYC Bidding assistance

[myb8089]

I am looking for a 3* NYC, not really wanting to pay 4* prices this time.

Any advise, there don't seem that many 3* wins.

Any help is appreciated.

Please include the date(s) of your stay.

Sorry it took me a while to post my reply. :)

The other time i tried i wasn't allowed to post only read.

My ideal date is 2/27-2/28/08. If you think Wed are not the optimal day I could bring it forward a day or two.

I would greatly appreciate any input.

Many thanks.

Which zones are you willing to accept?

What is your maximum budget?

Any chance you could come on a Sunday nite?

Ideal zones MTE or MTW (is Times Square now a sep zone?)

I am wary as there seem a few bad apples mixed into the MTW hotels or am i mistaken.

Max budget ideally 130 although I know its not really all that realistic.

Is there a cheaper decent option? All the 3* seem nearly as expensive as the 4*, only about 20-30 cheaper.

Sunday night is not really an option, is it much cheaper?

Yes, Times Square is now its own zone.

Depends what star level you're looking at (4* or 3*) and who you ask... views can differ greatly on the same hotel.

That price difference is typical for NYC.. doesn't always hold true, but it often does. Your maximum bid should be based upon the price of your next best alternative.

Usually... business travelers haven't arrived yet and tourits have already headed home.
