TJ71 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Hello!Planning a trip 4/24-4/27 to NYC for 2 couples. Was about to book Millenium Broadway or Park Central for around $190/night when I discovered PRICELINE.Any suggestions on getting a 4* hotel during that period for less?Thanks, TJ
thereuare Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!To confirm, your topic title states "2 double rooms"... you don't necessarily need two beds in each room, correct? (rather you need each room to accomdate double occupancy, right)I'm fairly certain you should be able to beat the $190/nite rate, but do you have a maximum bid in mind?Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

TJ71 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 Hello,Correct, no need for 2 beds. One queen or king size bed per room is fine.No maximum bid in mind, other than better than $190 and preferably as low as possible!/TJ

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.Select 4* MTE and MTW and TS...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bdi zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPS...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bdi zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and MTW and TS and CPS...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

thereuare Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Congratulations on your success!A nice deal for a 4* hotel in NYC in April as this is usually a very expensive time in the city.Glad to see you're happy with the results and this should work well for your plans.I often recommend to users in this area to give Ess-A-Bagel a try for breakfast one morning (on Third Ave at 51st St)... just a short walk from your hotel and has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for an inexpensive, and good, 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.
