phgolfer Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for your help in advance, venturing to NYC for first time. I believe Midtown East would be good location for us, but we will be seeing sites all over the city. Need help with bidding strategy for 4*.Thanks.
AaronJB Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)What would be your max budget (in other words, "all in" per night, including taxes/fees) per night for hotel?
thereuare Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 ... and why MTE? Is there something that you don't like with the other Midtown zones?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

phgolfer Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)What would be your max budget (in other words, "all in" per night, including taxes/fees) per night for hotel?well cheap as possible obviously, but would like to stay under $200 per night. open to midtown central or midtown west if that is a better value. want to see lots of sights, central park, statue liberty, empire state building, broadway play, central park, etc.thanks for your help.

Is there something that you don't like with the other Midtown zones?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.others are ok, just didn't seem much different, so I thought I would simplify question. we want to see sights all over city, especially manhattan, so up for any midtown areas I guess.thanks
thereuare Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 That's the point... with the zones being so close in proximity and mass transit readily available, why not include all the zones that you find acceptable and let the one with the lowest rate accept your bid :)I will add that the Sheraton New York used to be the "clunker" in the MTW and some would choose to avoid the zone in hopes of not receiving this property, but the reviews have improved lately... woudl this be an acceptable outcome?Please confirm if you're willing to accetp MTE, MTW, TS, CPS and/or ESB... and also if $200 is your maximum bid price or "all-in" (including taxes and fees) price... we'll then suggest a strategy for your to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

phgolfer Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Posted June 13, 2009 All zones are ok, you mentioned above, and would like the all in price of less than 200. thanks
