kmmfc Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 HiThis is my first time using this site and the first time I will have used PRICELINE. I am looking for some help with regards a strategy. I am going to be looking for a hotel room in New York City on Saturday 20th June for 3 nights. The room should be for 2 people in a double room and I am looking for 4* or above. I'd like to avoid any of the Sheraton hotels as I haven't heard many good reports about these. Preferably, I'd like to stay central, Midtown East/West, Central Park, Times Square area. My budget is about $120 - $130 per night. Firstly, do you think I'll secure a room for this budget and secondly, if so, could you suggest a strategy.Thanks in advance.

kmmfc Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Posted April 24, 2009 I am looking to avoid the Sheraton New York and the Sheraton Manhatten only.Thanks for the pm and your help.
thereuare Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Since you don't want either of the Sheraton properties, which are both in the MTW zone, i would simply not include that zone in your bidding and would try as follows:At the 4* leve in NYC you have FOUR re-bid zones available. 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, CPS, and Time Square...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE, CPS, and Time Square and re-bid zone4...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $135 (you can leve off this bid if you really don't want to bid this high)Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
