gingernova Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Hi!I'm visiting New York City june 20-23 (3 nights) with my bf. I've been looking for a 4* hotel below $200. Found a 3.5* in Hotwire, Soho / Downtown for $192. Ammenities include gym, business center and wi-fi. Would you happen to know which hotel it is? Also, I just used Priceline for the first time, made a bid up to $200 using several zones inside manhattan & no luck. This was before I saw the advice on the forum so I'll wait the 24 hrs. to try again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!G.
thereuare Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!The 3.5* Downtown hotel has not yet been reported to the board, but it seems to fit The Gild Hall and that would be our best guess for that property. If correct i think it would be a very good deal for this property on the above dates, but if you'd rather try PRICELINE let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide to do or if we can be of further help.

gingernova Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 The hotel just went up to $224. Can you please help with a strategy for Priceline? Willing to spend up to $210 for a 4*.Thanks!!

gingernova Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Posted June 9, 2008 All zones except Brooklyn & Long Island.I'll take Downtown / Soho last.Thanks a lot!!
thereuare Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 To avoid confusion, please tell us which zone(s) you're willing to accept rather than the ones you aren't.If you don't want to include the Downtown zone until trying the other zones up to your maximum then don't include it in the zone(s) you're willing to accept at this time.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
