Priceline Hotel: 2* NYC (MTS) Murray Hill East Suites

[EfficientFreak]

My first bid of $80 for either Downtown-Soho-Financial District or Upper West Side was denied.

I bid $75 for all the remaining boroughs that Priceline shows for Manhattan for a 1 Star hotel (Midtown East,Midtown South,Midtown West, Upper East Side, Upper Midtown - Central Park South.)

It came back accepted and upgraded to a 2 Star hotel for the same price. I must of overballed the 1 star and there must of been a two star out there accepting the same bid of $75. Cool!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

In your excitement you forget to tell us the hotel? :)

Thanks!

oh crap :) It's the Murray Hill East Suites Hotel New York. Hotels.com/murray-hill-east-suites.htm#new"]http://www.new.york.the-Hotels.com/murray-...-suites.htm#new

do you want me to add that to the original post?

Nope, i'll take care of it.

Users can't edit topic titles once they're posted (and you have about an hour to edit the subject text).

Can you also confirm that this is indeed a 2* property according to the priceline confirmation screen? In the past it has been reported as a 2.5* and i know the reviews were pretty good so i'd be surprised, but not shocked, if it has been downgraded.

If you look at our PRICELINE NYC HOTEL LIST there are a few reviews attached next to the name of this property.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I had stay there before. it's not bad...it's decent. Kinda old building but surely beats hostels. It's pretty closed to Grand Hyatt too. We paid about the same price about 2 yrs ago in June time. Good luck and have a fun trip.

Thanks for fixing my little snafu. I checked and it is indeed a 2* (two star) hotel.

Hope that helps your database.

I could be wrong but it seems to me this hotel has always been 2* for Priceline and 2.5* for Hotwire.

Thanks for the info Ernie. My g/f and I are staying there on our way from La Guardia to Boston. We'll be heading back to NYC later next week.
