lucky1967 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 For 3 days I have been trying to get 2 rooms for 9/12 - 9/14th. My preference was Cen Park South, where the 4* hotels are all very nice. I started bidding at $125 and in NYC you get 5 free bids. I bumped the bidding up by approx $8 per bid. After the 2nd day and getting rejected at $200/night, I added Mid Town East and dropped the bid to $140 and started again.This morning, my bid of $220/night was accepted at the Omni Bershire Place. The current rate is over $350 per night and the location is great. My hopes of getting a room for $150/night were overly optimistic.Of course, I used the better bidding PRICELINE link to purchase my room.Thanks for all the help.Luckydog Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Congratualtions on your success!This property gets some pretty good reviews so hopefully this will work out just as well for your plans as a CPS property would have.For breakfast one morning i recommend Ess-A-Bagel which is right near this hote (Third Ave at 51st St)... one of the best bagels in the city and makes for an inexpensive breakfast among locals.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
