There are few cities that are more expensive than New York City, and within the city, Midtown Manhattan is the most expensive and sought after area travelers want to stay. This is for good reason: Midtown is the hub of Manhattan, the center of it all with Broadway, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, and Times Square all within arms reach. Unfortunately, the cost of hotels is astronomical and savvy travelers should consider Priceline hotels in Midtown Manhattan.
Booking on a hotel on blind bidding websites such as Priceline and Hotwire are great for travelers to save money. Only problem is, you don’t know what hotel you are going to get. However, thanks to fellow travelers it is now possible to have your Priceline Express Deals revealed. The Priceline Forum on this site has over 20,000 members who regularly share their winning bids. A “winning bid” is essentially a Priceline hotel purchase on NYOP or Express Deals.

Savvy travellers will take a couple extra minutes to look at sites like TravelPony and TripAdvisor before booking.
