losty Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 HelloI would be grateful if you could provide me with some bidding advice. I need 2 rooms from 14-19 October in the MTE, MTW or TS sqaure area.I've had a look at hotel prices on the hotel websites and have found the following:MTE: Grand Hyatt $356, Intercontinental $280.80, Omni Berkshire $419, The Benjamin $ 381, W New York $323.10, Waldorf Astoria $399TS: W Times Square $424.70, Hilton Times Square $359, Renaissance New York $399, The Muse $410 , Crowne Plaza Times Sqaure $386.10MTW: Hilton New York $399, Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers $386.65, The Royalton $409, Sofitel New York $349.80The maximum amount I was hoping to bid was around $190 but I'm not sure if this is possible given how high the rates are.Thanks for your help
losty Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Posted August 28, 2009 HiIs anyone able to help? Is $190/night just being too optomistic? I can raise it to about $210 if we need to.thanks

losty Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 HelloJust to provide you with an update I haven't had any luck with the 4* so may look at 3.5* as I don't really want to pay any more

thereuare Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Hope you're happy with the results and this property works well for your plans.I often recommend guests in this area give Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) a try for breakfast one morning... one of the best bagels in the city and makes for an inexpensive breakfast among local NYers.Thank you for sharing your results with the board and using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Enjoy your stay.
