waited awhile then did the HOTWIRE purchase

4* City Centre - Gran Via - Sol -Plaza Mayor - La Latina $93 for 9/5-9/7

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Children Activities

Smoke Free Rooms

I got the Petit Palace Plaza Espana -- wish I had gotten the one you thought it would be! (although I in no way feel mislead by this site.. i do by Hotwire however)

I have to give feedback/warning on Hotwire Hot Hotel Deals though:

I am disappointed in this booking.  The *favorite* rating of 90% approval on the hot hotel deals booking page led me to believe it would have better than a 3.9 out of 5 rating on the regular sale page. The median published price quoted of $157 that they base their average savings on is also way higher than the actual published price $107 on the regular page, the $119 on Orbitz, the $107 on Expedia.   I doubt I'll ever use Hotwire again.  

Of course thank you! Just replied there, I didn't end up using the sites because I found a less expensive option through an apartment rental.  I did use this site for an LA trip several years ago that landed me in the W in downtown LA and it was fantastic! It was the hotel I wanted and through here it was suggested that it was the one I would get. Such a great forum.

I ended up renting an apartment for this trip after all so unfortunately no follow up info to post.  Thank you for your help though!

love this forum btw!!

one more out of curiosity: and i did use the BiddingHelper.com on this one:

much thanks!

looking at $340/night; chelsea; free internet, fitness center, pet friendly, restaurants, boutique, business center, smoke free, self service laundry

a bit above my price point but hoping to get Eventi 

any thoughts on what this actually could really be appreciated.  bottom line = know it's a pricey part of town but don't want a hilton/doubletree/sheraton etc...

other boutique places would also help me justify the cost!

thank you so much! got the W for $134 + the usual taxes.... this site is great...! very picky about where i stay but hate spending full price. would never have been able to afford this hotel any other way. your way of looking at the options and taking a lot of the guesswork out of where they will put you is incredibly helpful....thanks for having this info available it is fantastic!

thanks for the quick reply... think i'll try for the w since i really don't want to stay at avalon and can't afford the 4.5 option... one other question... does hotwire ever use the roosevelt? stayed there before and don't want to end up there again..!

thanks!
