Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (Downtown-SoHo-Financial District) Millenium Hilton

[dsiewmy]

Hey guys, I'm new here, & nice to meet everybody.

I'm from Malaysia and managed to get some cheaper air tix to NYC coming Sept.

So, I'm planning a "honeymoon on budget" to NYC and would require rooms during 9/18 to 9/21 and 9/27 to 9/28.

Reason for the gap is because I'm signing up on a tour for 7 days with tours4fun.com (anybody have other recommendations)?

I'd like to stay in MTE, MTW, TS or somewhere convenient to travel within Manhattan as I plan to visit by foot or public transport.

I have a budget of $100 ($135 inc taxes) per night and was wondering if it's possible to get a 3* or better during this season.

Reason I'm asking is because when I input $100, the "small chance of being accepted" is not there.

Anyway, I'd just like to ask everybody's idea if :

(1) my budget is OK for this time period

(2) when should I start bidding?

(3) what other tips to share?

(4) what hotels do i really have a chance to book as a backup in case, my travel agent suggests Flushing International at Flushing for $120/night (not sure about cancellation policies).

I also realised that priceline & hotwire seems to prompt me a very pricey range (above $300/night for most hotels).

Anyway, thanks in advance for all the help!

Finally managed to win something.

An update from my previous post.

For my 9/18 ~ 9/21 i realised i couldn't because 9/18 was just simply too expensive.

One i split it out, i managed a win at $190.

Anyway for those who don't mind staying in Brooklyn, the NU Hotel is doing a great deal at $169/night and being a new hotel, it should be good.

Welcome to BetterBidding! (i was away when you first posted back in February so didn't get a chance to say "welcome")

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the board. Did i guess the dates of your stay correctly as 9/19-9/21 which i've put in the topic title?

If you need help with a remaining nite of this stay (9/18) or the other leg of your stay (9/27) please start a NEW TOPIC.
