mella1983 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Dear All,I am going to travel to New York from 18th to 25th of March. This is the first time :) and I try to find a good hotel in the following areas:5,7,8 or 10I won't spend more than 140 USD (ALL IN incl Tax and fees)/night. I think this might be a 4* Hotel, but also a 3* is fine. So do you have any good proposals for me, where I could get a very nice room for less money? do you already made good experiences with some hotels in these areas? I want to make the reservation within this week, so your help and support is highly appreciated...Best wishes,Melanie Link to comment
collinhack Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 To me it seemed that the 2 and 2.5* hotels in NYC were a little better than average - have a look at the list of hotels and tripadvisor ratings - anything in MTE or MTW 2.5*s and above looks pretty good to me.I ended up getting Hampton Inn Times Square south 2.5*s (Actually in Madison Square Garden zone) recently for just $105 bid price per night for 14 nights in April, so March should be cheaper in theory.Otherwise just keep plugging in the *s and areas you want and bids up to about $125 per night and who knows? :-)If worst comes to worst, Hotwire has 3 - 3.5* hotels in the areas you want for only a smidge above that.

thereuare Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Did you first want to try for a 4* up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5*, then if rejected try for a 3*... or is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?Let us know and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

AaronJB Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Congratulations on your success. :)This is an outstanding price for this property, especially for a week-long stay! Certainly a very well-located hotel, as well.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's PRICELINE link to start your purchase.Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
mella1983 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thank you...Just one question: How can I know which room style I will get there???Is this always a double room???cheers Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 There is no way to know exactly what bed type you will receive until you get there. You could call or write the hotel to make a request, but there is no guarantee that that the hotel will take the request and if they do, it is just a request and may not necessarily be honored depending on availability at check-in.

mella1983 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 okay, understand...So let's see what will happen...Its so good to have this point done...Now I can focus on all nice entertainment things :) Thanks PRICELINE and the whole Team Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Congratulations on your success! :)I'll also just add my often recommended breakfast suggestion to those who stay in this area... Ess-A-Bagel has one of the best bagels in the city and is a short walk from this hotel (Third Ave at 51rd St) which makes for a good, and inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.Have a great time in NYC!
