-juesl- Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Hi there!I'm looking for a 3/4* Hotel in NYC (MTE, MTW, TS, CPS, ESB, MSG or Downtown). Absolute maximum is 200$/night incl. tax.I'd prefer 4* in MTE, MTW & TS, but I guess that's hard to find for 8 nights at these dates?!Rates for 28th and following are way higher then those for 23rd - 27th. So it might be reasonable to split the dates? I would'nt mind moving into another hotel for the last days. Any strategy advice? Thanks for your great help,jules
thereuare Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3* or is your goal the least expensive 3* or better hotel for this stay?What is your maximum bid before taxes and fees... about $165? What if you're successful for the less expensive nites of your stay and then the remaining nites are phohibitively expensive?Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

-juesl- Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Posted September 10, 2008 Hi!Yes I guess $165-170 before taxes.. all in all, I don't want to pay more than $1600. If it's possible to get a 4* - great, if not I have to go down to 3* or maybe even 2*... If 28th - 1st are not to get within that limit, I'll move to Jersey and do a little outlet shopping... Many thanks,Julia
