burr Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 Hi,Willing to spend maximum $ 200/night, might go higher if it is 5*. Suggestions are more than welcome!Any suggestions on "off the record" deals on easyclicktravel? Many thanksC
thereuare Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!How about THE DRAKE for $169/nite?If not, why not tell us a bit more about what you're looking for. On HOTWIRE you mention only 4.5* hotels... is there a reason you are avoiding the 4 star properties? Are those Hotwire offerings even worth looking at considering they're over your budget?If you're flexible enough to try Priceline we can suggest a strategy to follow, but i would use the $169/nite figure about as the one to beat... unless for some reason the Drake isn't appealing ot you. If you do want to go the Priceline route, would you consider SPLITTING YOUR BID?Let us know how you want to proceed, or if you want to take the Drake mentioned above, and we'll advise accordingly.

burr Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Posted February 4, 2005 Thereuare,Thank you for a quick reply and great to be hear!Sorry for being a bit confusing when it comes to my budget.THE DRAKE for $169/nite looks promising, but I have increasedmy budget a bit and limited my area.Could you please let me know if you think this is the LE PARKER MERIDIAN?and if you think this is the fair deal for this area incl Internet.The hotwire MIDTOWN CENTRAL, 4.5* (as below) Customer Favorite!

thereuare Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Indeed that property does look like the Le Meridien.Note that the internet icon does not mean that it includes hi-speed internet access, it only means that it is available, and at this property i'd suspect that means 'available for a fee'.With the above noted, is this is a good deal?At a savings of $50/nite over the hotel's website rate, it is a good deal if this is the specific hotel you want; however, relative to what else is available, i don't think this is a good value, as i don't think the Le Meridien is worth $50/nite more than The Drake.Let us know if we can be of more help and/or what you decide to do. If you go with the Hotwire offering please use THIS LINK to start your purchase (if you go with the Drake please use the links in this post) Thanks!
