Priceline Hotel: NYC 3* or higher in February 2010

[Damzkie]

Hi all,

First of all: i'm new to this forum, and with all the topics that I found here I've learned abit about PRICELINE and how to make good use of it.

I'm looking for a trip to NYCity from 20 February to 25 Feb. 2010. I've already make bids on 3 star hotels, but I don't know if i am even close to the right price. I'd like to go to one of the following zones:

10: Times sq

9: Midtown West

2: Central Park South

7: MSG

8: Midtown East

Tried the zones in this order (bid):

9 (75)

9/10 (80)

9/10/2 (80)

9/10/2/7 (85)

9/10/2/7/8 (85)

Can anyone help me with placing a better bid or using a better strategy?

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Even though February is likely to be a very slow time for hotels in NYC, $85 is not usually enough for a 3* hotel in Manhattan.

What is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels? What is your maximum bid for this stay? Are you looking to get this completed soon or are you not really concerned about booking this now?

The best rates for 3 star + hotels in one of the areas around Times Sq. (not such a big issue to be ON Times Sq. itself though) I'm seeing in a quick scan are 97

Is $140 your "all-in" rate or maximum bid rate?

Let us know your maximum bid price and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow for a hotel in any of the following zones:

Times sq

Midtown West

Central Park South

MSG

Midtown East

Also, are you interested in paying more for a higher rated hotel, or is your goal the least expensive 3* or better property in any of the zones above?
