Priceline Hotel: 3* NYC (MSG-Convention) Ramada Plaza New Yorker

[gilberto]

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to NYC, 04/02/2010-04/07/2010, group of 8 - need four rooms. I will need a 3,5* for around 120 or a 4* for around $140, without taxes.

I'm flexible about location, but the Priceline have rejected my bids up to $140 in MTW, MTE, ESB, MSG, TS on 4*.

Any ideas? I have already book the Tudor Hotel for about 152,00 on Booking.com, but I can cancel it.

Thanks. I'm from Brazil and I will stay 24 days in USA - Denver, Frisco-CO, Las Vegas, San Francisco and NYC. Its my first post but I had already used the PRICELINE link here to reserve my Denver Hotels.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

At the moment i think it's going to take more than $140 for a 4* hotel for these dates. However, i notice you're not including CPS in your bidding, is there a hotel in that area you're trying to avoid or are you not interested in that area? As you've already bid up to your limit for a 4* hotel, are you now ready to try for a 3.5* property? If so, which zones are you willing to accept at the 3.5* level?

Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.

Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

I just post my success in Denver.

Sorry but I had already included CPS in my bidding. I think I can try to bid a 3,5* in MTW, MTE, ESB, MSG, TS and CTP, But I will very happy if I can stay in Helmsley or in Affinia. But I'm trying to avoid Hudson, Sheraton Manhattan and maybe Doubletree Metropolitan.

What do you think about that? And How Much you think I can get a 4* in these areas?

thanks.

[thereuare]

For a 4* i'd guess $155-$180.

If you're trying to avoid the 3.5* specific properties above, why not exlude the zones they're located in from your bidding? I think it's too early before your stay to compromise what you really want.

Ok. But you think I will make a best deal if I wait some time to use PRICELINE? To do that, How many days I could wait until I try again with a better chance?

[thereuare]

Nobody can say if rates will go down... or up between now and your stay.

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ for more on this subject.

Yesterday I tried 3* MSG, MTE, UES and Chelsea U$ 115 - rejected

rebid 3* adding Long island U$120 - rejected

rebid 3* adding TS U$125 - rejected. :)

:) . But I had success bidding in San Francisco using this PRICELINE link, I had just posted it!

You have a lot of time between now and your stay, and a back-up reservation... i wouldn't deviate too far from what you really want at this point in time. Inventory/prices may or may not get better as you get closer to your stay, but if you prefer higher rated hotels (ie- 3.5* and 4* properties) i wouldn't compromise too much (ie- down to the 3* level) this early before your stay.

Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links for your purchases :)

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Unfortunately this MTC property has not yet been identified. Given the number of reviews submitted by HOTWIRE customers, i'm assuming this may be a fairly new offering from them.

Let us know whatever you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

[gilberto]

Ok, I will do that!
