Rookfan Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 For these last two days of our NYC stay it needed some patience and it would burst this frame if I told all that I tried. Only this: I need Downtown area only, so since a long time I tried, of course always using our PRICELINE link, to bid first 4* between $129 - $159, then 3.5* between $116 - $149 and at last 3* for $89 - $ 99, all with no success every time. As reported earlier, in Nov. 2009 (!) I won an MTE hotel for the first 5 days of our stay in April - this as additional comment regarding "to bid earlier or later" :) Today, 4* finished, started 3.5* this time with $119 and got Club Quarters on first try. Perhaps overbid.OK, not my dream. However I watched also their rates all the time. HOTWIRE's cheapest rate on one day was $145, their own rate is $239, so I should be happy with the result I ended up.Thanks again to all of you who support this great board, specially to the Moderators :) , always appreciated.

thereuare Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Congratulations on your success!Glad to see your plans are now settled (from November until now was a long time coming!) and you can focus on other aspects of your trip!If you're looking for a nice but casual place for dinner this is my somewhat new favorite pizza place downtown not too far from this hotel:Adrienne's Pizza Bar54 Stone StNew York, NY 10004It's a restaurant (not a slice place)... stick with the rectangular pizza which is excellent and reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients. Beer ($7) and wine (staring at $8) is a little pricey... but not outrageous for NYC.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
