thereuare Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you aware that there are currently no 4* hotels offered in Chelsea or MSG? Also, the ESB and CPS zones do contain 4* hotels and would seem to meet your criteria, but it appears that you didn't include these in your bidding... is there a reason you didnt' include these zones?Are you familiar with re-bidding? (see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained)Let us know regarding the zone(s) you're willing to accept as well as if you're familair with re-bidding (feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your FIVE re-bid zones at the 4* level in NYC)... we'll then suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Congratulations on your success!This is a great deal for a 4* hotel in NYC and this property si very well located for easy access to getting around the city... should work out well for your plans.I also frequently recommend users in this area give Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) a try for breakfast... one of the best bagels in the city and makes for a good, and inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICLINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
