elansky Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Good Day--first time on site but heard great things, so giving it a try--visiting NYC with family in March and seeking a 5 star hotel for 5 nights--interested in thoughts on best strategy to get hotel room--open to all areas of city and ideally want to spend no more then $150/night--welcome thoughts/suggestions--thanks Link to comment
WillTravel Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 How many people will be in your party? If you have more than two, you will probably want to use Hotwire, or else get two rooms on Priceline. I don't think $150/night is a reasonable expectation for a 5* hotel, because the very few reported bids in the past year or two have all been over $200. There are lots of nice hotels with a lesser star rating. Would those work? Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 In addition to the questions WT asked:What are the actual date(s) of your stay.There is only one known 5* rated hotel in NYC that participates with Priceline, and it comes up very rarely. I would highly recommend expanding your search to include 4* properties as well.Let us know and we'll advise further. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
bshor Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Which is the 5* hotel in NY?Is this a general 5* issue across the country with Priceline, or just a NY phenomenon? Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 It's specific to this property.As per our PRICELINE HOTEL LIST the only 5* that we currently konw about is the Waldorf Towers.If you click on the zones via Priceline you can see the star levels available, and the MTE zone is the only zone that offers 5* bidding at this time.
