Priceline Hotel: 1st Time Advice

[rjb]

I have done some background reading but haven't noted any advice as to how far out from visiting I should make a bid-Is earlier better? We will be in New York mid June 2010 for 5 nights.I have also read that there is perhaps an issue in getting a 5 night stay. All advice gratefully accepted!

Welcome to Betterbidding! :)

It's generally recommended to start bidding when your plans are set. A 5 day stay may not cause an issue on an average day, but can certainly cause problems during a busier period.

What PRICELINE zones are you interested in bidding for, and what would your budget be per night? Let us know more about what you are looking for and we would be happy to offer suggestions on how to proceed.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.

Thanks AaronJB. Will be our first visit to NY. Not really into late nights but like to have a drink & people watch prior to eating. Would like to get something around the $us120 all in mark if possible. Don't mind the idea of Jersey especially the Hyatt Regency City on the Hudson. Have read some good results for June 2009. Otherwise probably the Mid West or Mid East

Not absolutely locked in but at this stage looking at check in 15th June checkout 20th June 2010

As noted above you shouldn't bid until your plans are firm... let us know once you're ready to commit and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Of course any questions before then just continue this thread.
