Hotwire Hotel: 3* NYC (Times Square-Theatre District) Room-Mate Grace

[mccarthys5]

Just coming into NYC for 1 night - Sat, 9/27 - for a wedding in Soho. Would prefer not to drive back to Philly that night, but have to be out early the next am, so don't want to spend a fortune for a room if at all possible.

I'll stay anywhere in Manhattan, just so that I can cab it to and from the wedding. Prefer a 4*, but will drop down to a 3* if need be. Where to start the bidding? I already blindly tried $160 on PRICELINE, no dice - how much higher will I have to go? There is a 4* on HOTWIRE for $275/night in Midtown East, should I just book that or it is perhaps possible to get something lower via PRICELINE?

Thanks in advance,

Suzanne

Bump. Any advice? I would like to get started on this. Many thanks.

Still trying to work this out on my own. Used your PRICELINE link, as usual, to bid. $175 failed for 4* in Soho/Downtown. I see the Millennium Broadway on travelzoo for $249, so I guess that's my safety. Any idea of how I should continue to proceed would be much appreciated.

At the 4* level not sure if you're going to be able to beat the $249 Millenium Broadway rate but you can try as follows:

At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)

Good luck and let us knw how it goes.

OK, I tried to bid a few times on PRICELINE (via the link on this site) and went up to $220 and was completely unsucessful.

The $249 deal at the Millenium Broadway went away, so I booked a hotel via HOTWIRE (also through the link on this site) and will post that win separately.

Thanks for the advice.

Booked this via your link on Hotwire for a one-night stay on (/27/08. Don't believe it's been reported as yet. Here are the amenities:

Boutique Hotel

Complimentary Breakfast

Pool

Business Center

Spa Services.

Got it for $249/night - came to $290.38 with taxes.

Read some reviews on TripAdvisor and they look very positive, so I'm hoping we'll be happy.

Thanks for all your help with this, am glad I finally nailed down a stay in the city at a semi-decent price.
