Ramonn Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 On reading some posts I note that you offer assistance in bidding srategy. I would appreciate your help if possible. I will need one, possibly two, rooms in New York City. Date of arrival September1, 2009 and date of departure September 5, 2009. Looking for 4 star hotel. Have stayed at Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Millennium UN plaza and Hudson. I would like a hotel of similar level in these areas or nearby. Hopefully can match for $100-$120 a night. If you can recommend a bidding strategy I would grately appreciate it. Thank you.
thereuare Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!The Sheraton Towers and Millennium UN are at opposite sides of Manhattan, which zone(s), by PRICELINE name, are you willing to bid? For the average visitor the MTE, MTW, CPS, TS, and often ESB all work out fine, but please double check the zone boundaries on the PRICELINE map to see if these will all work for your needs... then let us know which you're willing to accept and we'll advise accordingly.As well, when will you know whether you'll need one room vs. two?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
