Priceline Hotel: NYC April 23rd -26th

[steveybaby]

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to NYC 23rd - 26th. group of 4 - need two rooms. I'd after a 4* for around $150. That doesnt seem too unreasonable but im not having any luck. Best I found was a 3* on hotwire for $143.

I'm flexible about location - just want to be able to get to the sights fairly easily (short cab or close to the metro)

Priceline have rejected my bids up to $140 in Midtown West, Midtown East, Empire State Building Area, Long Island City, Madison Square Garden - Convention Area, Times Square - Theatre District.

Any ideas? Am i just being unrealistic?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Spring is an expensive time in NYC (more expensive than prices we're currently seeing for April) and it may be a bit early for hotels to be discounting too deeply given the higher demand period, instread preferring to hold onto inventory a little longer in hopes of selling rooms themselves at a higher price.

HOTWIRE has what i believe to be the 70 Park Avenue Kimpton Hotel available for $189/nite, if you're willing to stretch your budget a bit, which has mostly good reviews.

No one can say for certain if rates will drop as your dates approach, but given the current economy/hotel market, and time between now and your stay, i would continue to try bidding in the weeks ahead (trying no more than once or twice a week at this point to avoid frustration)

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Any questions feel free to ask. Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.
