Ireland Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Hi, I have never been to New York or used PRICELINE before. I wonder if someone can help me? I'm going there on the 18th of June for 7 nights. I want to stay in a 4* hotel. I have been recommended to stay in MTE. How much should my bidding be? I would like to stay in the same hotel for the duration of the stay...Thank you for all your help!!
thereuare Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Not sure who recommended you only bid the MTE zone (and why that zone??), but my recommendation would be to include as many zones as you're willing to accept... this increases the nubmer of possible hotels which can accept your bid and therefore increases your chances of getting a great deal. For the average visitor looking for a 4* hotel, the MTE, MTW, CPS, Times Square, and ESB zones are all considered centrally located.Let us know if any of these other zones are acceptable or if you want to only stick with the MTE zone, as well as your maximum bid, and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Ireland Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Posted June 1, 2008 Hi, Thank you for the reply! MTE, MTW, CPS would be ok. Not sure about including Times Square... Where is ESB?My maximum bid would be around $250 a night.I would like 7 nights in the same hotel. Is that possible? My dates are 18th-25th of June.Thank you for all your help!
thereuare Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 ESB = Empire State BuildingNot sure if $250 wil be enough for this complete 7 nite stay at one hotel, but let us know if you would to include the ESB zone and we'll suggest a strategy for you to try.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Ireland Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Posted June 1, 2008 Hi, I think I would like to stick with the areas MTE, MTW, CPS and Times Square. What strategy would you suggest?Thanks for your help!
