fasfoz Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi First off all I want to thank this forum for being very helpful.I am looking for a 3 or 4 * hotel in time square and I am been bidding for a days without accepted.My max budget is 220 Any tips or advice ?Thank you all. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Welcome to the site :)1. Have you only been bidding for a hotel in the Times Square area? If so, you are severely limiting your choices and your potential for success. 2. Is there a reason why you need to be in Times Square? NYC has a lot more to offer; while Times Square is a fine place to visit, it's definitely a crowded place I'd want to visit - it's not a place I'd want to stay in. Other areas of the city - in my opinion - are more comfortable and enjoyable to stay in, yet allow you easy access (walking, public transit, etc.) to Times Square.3. What is your max budget per night? Link to comment
fasfoz Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 hi and thank you1- i have tried midtown west as a second choice and still don't get the offer :)2- i want to stay in time square because i have been there and it's close to Broadway and every thing else >3- as i say my max budget is around 220 per night or 1300 $ for the 5 nights Thanks for your care :)P.S. sorry for my english , its my second language .

AaronJB Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Quikbook.com has 6 Columbus Circle for $233 a night for these dates. That's a very well-reviewed hotel in a great location.Please click on the site's link to Quikbook.com to start your purchase if you decide to take this deal (and it is a very good deal - the cheapest rate on the hotel's own website on these dates is considerably more expensive than the Quikbook.com rate.)

thereuare Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Nice find, AaronJB!Does the Quickbook offer work for your needs? (i don't see it shouldn't if you've already bid higher than this amoutn for lesser quality hotel) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

thereuare Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think the Quickbook deal at 6 Columbus would be better than the Paramount and just about the same price... any reason you didn't choose that property?
