TheBestMan Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Yesterday I initiated a 4* Priceline search, focused around MTE, MTW, Times Square, Central Park South, and used I think all rebid zones. Basically went from $120 to $165 in $5 increments. No go on anything.Today I initiated a 4* search in the same zones, same nights. Started at $150, went up in $9 increments to $230 and still had no luck. Yesterday I had seen a Hotwire MTE location that was around $218, so I figured I'd checkc on that. Today it was being offered at $243.For completeness sake, I will post the rest of the story here (and on the Hotwire Winning Bids forum):Instead, took the Hotwire Midtown West $249 rate, $747 for the stay + $126.47 taxes/fees = $873.47 total. Staying at Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers on Seventh. It gets dogged on reviews on tripadvisor and such for being small, but I phoned with a request for two double beds and they seemed easy to deal with. We shall see in 10 days!Both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE searches were initiated from betterbidding links.
