classicpooh Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 I've been trying to bid a 3.5 hotel in the TS, CPS, MTW, MTE, ESB areas and priceline hadn't accepted any of my bids even when i go up to $150. I know friends who had gotten TS Sheraton for $110/120 before, or Grand Hyatt at $165. Does anyone know if hotel prices are relatively higher that weekend? Had anyone gotten successful bids for that weekend in these areas? I'd like to know how much higher I need to raise the bid.. Now I regret not booking the $159 deal at Travelzoo when it came out and now the rooms are all gone!

hoosierfan Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 Try using quikbook.com. They're having a huge sale on NYC hotels until 5pm tomorrow (11/6). I got a room in soho with 2 double beds for $142.
classicpooh Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Posted November 6, 2009 So finally I had given up on the expensive areas in NYC, and got a room at the Club Quarters Downtown for $125. Thanks betterbidding for your help. the Calendar of Wins is GREAT!!
AaronJB Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Awesome deal for NYC this time of year - was this via PRICELINE or HOTWIRE?

classicpooh Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 I used priceline to get this deal. I actually tried using the PRICELINE link at the top right hand corner of this page but the page didn't load.. I'll try again with future purchases though.
