Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTW) Hilton New York

[Chris12]

I've been bidding on MTW/MTE/TS for Thursday October 9th to Monday October 13th for the past couple weeks with no success. As of today I have bid up to 240$ with no luck. Since it still is a month and a half away would I be better to wait awhile before bidding any higher? Any chance I would have better luck closer to the date or should I keep increasing my price now?

I have a backup reserved for about 330$ per night, so I am still willing to go a little higher yet.

Prices of other hotels for my dates are:

Hilton New York $379, Sheraton Hotel and Towers $419, Grand Hyatt $394, Omni Berkshire Place $392, W New York $429, Hilton Times Square $449, Millennium Broadway $399.

Thanks!!

Where is your back-up?

How about the Fitzpatrick Grand Central for $307/nite or the Fitzpatrick for $314/nite... both thru Quickbook (please use this link). You can read review of each HERE and HERE respectively.

Also, i think the Thursday nite may be tripping you up a bit... is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

Back-up was at Hampton Inn Madison Square, it was actually for 340$ per night. However, today I found a great deal through travelzoo which works out to an average of 250$ per night for the Millennium Broadway. I was super excited to find this rate, for what should be a better hotel, in a better location.

I think I will lay off PRICELINE for awhile now, maybe try later in September if rates seem to be decreasing.... otherwise 250$ seems to be a very good rate for my stay right now!!

As for splitting our bid, I really do not want to do that.... I think I would rather pay slightly more than have the hassle of switching hotels, especially since we are not there for that long either....don't want to have to waste time with that.

No need to try SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID with the $250 deal at the Millennium Broadway.

Keep us updated if any changes to your plans or if we can be of further help... otherwise enjoy your stay in Manhattan.

I've been bidding my dates off and on for the past few months now. Bid last night MTW/TS up to $185 with no success at all. Tried one last time tonight and got the Hilton New York for $140/night! Huge savings over my cancellable back-up I had booked.

I am noticing a trend here where the hilton properties in the NYC area, tend to get bids accepted at a really good rate a week before your destined arrival time. Maybe next time ill book a cancellable back-up and try PRICELINE a week before my trip.
