robertknyc Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 In earlier bidding I received a counteroffer for this zone at $189. Kept increasing the bids and after failing at $169 my offer was accepted at $171. This bid also included the other midtown zones. I used the PRICELINE links on this page for the bid. Also, I tried extending my stay two nights (Sat. and Sun.) but it was not accepted since the Sat. rate was much higher. After failing up to $215 for a 4*, I went down to 3* and failed up to $190 for most Manhattan zones. I ended up booking on Hotels.com, getting Club Quarters Downtown for $193 + fees.
thereuare Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Congratulations on your win!Not sure if your Hotels.com (which btw we're affiliate of as per the links in our support page) is cancellable but if so you may want to consider 6 Columbus Circle for $189/nite thru Quickbook... rooms are small, but it's a 4* hotel with excellent reviews which i think will provide a nicer experience than the Club Quarters. (please use our Quickbook link if this is an option)While at the Hilton New York, if you have any late nite (8pm-4am) hunger, check out the checken and rice cart on the south west corner of 53rd and Sixth Avenue across the street from the hotel... you'll be surprised at the persistent line throughout the nite (see our additional comments in the BetterBidding Wiki)Thank you for sharing you win and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
robertknyc Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks for your suggestion on 6 Columbus Circle. I just checked and they have no rooms for my date. Even my Club Quarters deal is no longer available so space is filling up it seems. I'll note the Hotels.com link for future reference. Normally I can get what I need on priceline but in this case I wasn't getting anything via priceline at a much better rate, and with children I needed to avoid a hotel with ultra-small rooms.
