nnyanin Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Hi,Trying to book a hotel for March 19- March 21. Would really like to stay at 4* in Midtown East. I tried bidding 180 per night, selecting MTE on priceline with no luck. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!
AaronJB Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)I'm seeing a 4* in MTE for these dates when I search on HOTWIRE for $176 w/fitness, business, restaurant, internet and tennis. That could be the Grand Hyatt or Intercontinental, but I'd guess the Intercontinental is the more likely. If you are interested in MTE, I'd suggest taking that, as you have already bid $180 on PRICELINE for a 4*/MTEPlease use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
nnyanin Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 Hi! Thanks for response. Would prefer mte but mtw works too and I suppose times sq (though would prefer being close to moma, bergdorf etc. Budget is ideally no more than 180 per night before taxes. Thanks again!
thereuare Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 HOTWIRE has what i believe to be the InterContinetnal Barclay for $179/nite... would this work for your plans or would you prefer to try PRICELINE again and include the MTE zone?If bidding again, would the TS, CPS and/or ESB zones also work for your needs? It's generally very easy to get around the city via mass transit and the subway can take you just about anywhere you need to go.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

nnyanin Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 THanks for the info. The Barclay is in a great location and could possibly work. However with prieline, MTE, MTW and TS would work. Your help is greatly appreciated!
thereuare Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 At the 4* level in NYC you have FIVE re-bid zones.
