I've already tried Priceline 'name your own price'. I was rejected 3 times for the Times Square Theater District. 1st try $135 2nd try $160 3rd try $180 So, I thought I would give Hotwire a try (I already know about the re-bidding process & to try other locations on PRICELINE). :) Here's what I found on Hotwire: Check in: Sat, Sep 6, 2008 Check out: Tue, Sep 9, 2008 Hotwire.com - Hotel - Destination U.S. Address (I typed in the Marriott Marquis address - that is the ideal location/area I wish to stay). This is what I came up with: Details for your 3-star hotel in Times Square - Theatre District Rooms: 1 Nights: 3 Rate per night: $225.00 Subtotal: $675.00 Tax recovery charges and fees: $93.81 Total: $768.81 Hotel Amenities: Fitness Center Business Center Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access Per this page: Hotwire Hotel List The possible 3*'s are: 3* Belvedere (previously 2.5*) Amenities: Restaurant, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business 3* Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet (same as Washington Jefferson) 3* Washington Jefferson Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet (same as Hilton Garden Inn) This seems like it may be a better match (except for it being a 3.5 star, I found a 3 star and the one I found does Not state 'customer favorite') 3.5* Crowne Plaza Hotel Manhattan (previously 3*) Customer Favorite Amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business (VP no longer showing Pool) Any best guess to what hotel I may have found on hotwire? :) :o TIA for your time!
