Thespian Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Needed a hotel for one night, fairly convenient to the Theater District, as we're going to see West Side Story.Wanted to avoid the known "clinkers" in various zones, so went for 3.5* in MSG area, as the Affinia Manhattan is the only hotel we've seen in that category. My wife used to stay in Affinia hotels a lot on business (back when they were called Manhattan East Suites) and loved the big rooms and kitchen equipment.First bid was $95. Priceline countered with "add $22" (why is it always $22?). I'm wise to that game, so I added Chelsea (only 3* and below) and rebid $100. Success! It's possible that I could have gotten it for a buck or three less, but I'm happy. The location is good and the reviews are excellent. Lowest direct rate for my date is currently $180 with AAA membership or $199 without.Used the PRICELINE link from BetterBidding, of course.
