smk220 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Hello,I want to stay at The Empire Hotel in the Upper West side 3/19 - 3/24 for 5 nights.HOTWIRE appears to have the hotel for $145/night. If I bid on PRICELINE could I get it cheaper? How much should I start to bid?Thanks!
thereuare Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!While the Empire Hotel is currently the only 4* hotel reported to the board in the UWS zone, are you willing to accept the risk that you could be the first to report a new 4* hotel in this zone? Are you able to accept a 4* hotel in this zone other than the Empire?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.let us know your thoughts and we'll advise accordingly.
