keken Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 HiWill be in NYC for 5 nights - arriving Oct 14/08.I have never used Priceline before - what would be a good strategy?3* or 4* - MW, ME, CPS, TS, Gramercy/Flatiron/UnionSquare all ok - Hoping to pay less than $250/n - is this reasonable?Thanks in advance for your help.
thereuare Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!MW, ME, CPS, TS, Gramercy/Flatiron/UnionSquare"Gramercy/Flatiron/UnionSquare" is not a PRICELINE zone... did you only want to include the other four zones or is there a 5th zone that you wanted to include (Empire State Buidling??)Based upon current rates your budget is likely going to be tight for a 4*, and perhaps for a 3* too, but did you want to first try for a 4* up to your limit and then, if rejected, try for a 3*... or are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better hotel in any of the zones you've listed as acceptable?Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
