ebiddix Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I'm brand new to the Priceline thing...DH has a conference 3/22 - 3/28 being hosted at Midtown Hotels. I've already booked Gild Hall through Quikbook for the first two nights at $99/night, looking for something 3*, under $150 for the other 4 nights and am not sure what areas to try for - especially since I would be estatic if we could keep it at $100/night. It's just him, as long as the palce is clean and safe, a 2* or 2.5* would be fine too - just not sure how to start this process. Conference is being hosted in Midtown area (Hilton, Sheraton, etc...) and ability to get around via subway from his hotel to the conference area is a plus. Thanks in advance!

ebiddix Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks - I tried Saturday night, no luck. Will try again today.
ebiddix Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 Just wanted to say thanks - we figured out it was best to break it into two trips, instead of staying in NYC for 3 nights he didn't need. Ended up booking Gild Hall for the 3 nights he did need on Quikbook through your link.Thanks for your help!
