Hotwire Hotel: Help ID - Midtown Central / Times Square

[einna86]

Hello! Two adults looking to stay in Midtown West (close to 57th x Broadway) from Wednesday May 20th to Sunday May 24th, 2015, under $250/night. Love the Hotwire Easy View tool! Can you help ID these?

 

3* MTC

$182

60% recommend

3.5 TA rating

FULL AMENITIES: Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access

My guess: Wellington? This would be ideal: affordable + really close to our friend's apartment. Anyone know what the bed arrangement is through Hotwire? (1 double, etc.)

 

5* MTC

$250

95% recommend

4.5 TA rating

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access

My guess: Sofitel? a bit further south than we'd like

 

 

On Priceline Express:

4* Central Park South

$203

Amenities: Pets Allowed    Restaurant    Fitness Center    Free Internet    Business Center

My guess: Renaissance 57 or Hudson?

On HOTWIRE, best guess for the 3* MTC property would be the Wellington Hotel or the Holiday Inn Midtown 57th St... for the 5* my guess would be the Sofitel.

For the PRICELINE EXPRESS property i think the Hudson Hotel would be a likely outcome.

Sorry for going radio silent there, the work week got very crazy, very fast. Unfortunately because I waffled about, the prices seem a bit higher both on Hotwire and Priceline Express. I will continue to watch the prices, we booked a backup hotel (via the links on support page) that is cancelable, and I'll continue to update this thread.

 

Also did some old-fashioned Priceline bidding for a 5* (hehe) in Central Park South, starting with $100 and going up in $5 increments with free re-bid zones to $220 = nothing. I wasn't expecting to really win. These dates are super expensive... must be all the school graduations.

 

As an aside- Just noticed this 4.5 star hotel on Priceline Express for Central Park South. It's over my budget but I'm curious what it is, since there isn't anything on the hotel list for Priceline Express at this star level in this zone?

 

4.5* Central Park South

$ 278

Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher)

If there was something over your desired budget that was of interest, would you go for it?

 

This listing hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board, but a guess would be the Loews Regency.

Our absolute max is $220, and that would be for something extraordinary like a 5*, which I understand isn't realistic.

 

Thanks for the guess on Loews Regency.

Researching hotels can be a time consuming process, so please don't ask for help with hotels that are over your budget or that you're not ready to move forward/commit to, as the hotels you're 'curious about' may never come down in price and/or may not be the ones offered once if you ultimately decide to increase your budget.

What is your maximum budget per nite for a 4* hotel? (or whatever the lowest star rating is that you're willing to accept)

Updating so you can close this thread: we cancelled the trip. We have a graduation ceremony that we are obligated to attend over the holiday weekend. This is a huge bummer for us.

 

I wanted to thank you all for your help in researching hotels. Thanks again.

Thank you for closing the thread. Let us know if you need a hotel for the graduation ceremony. :)
