Aaron, Thank you for the help. Much appreciated. I clicked through to Hot.wire in the link in your post. I see a 5* mid town central at $390. It has $30 per day fee. I understand that Westhouse charges that fee. Is that right? Note on Hotwire says last person got Westhouse. I see a 5* for Upper East at $369. Rack rate is $675. Amenities are pet friendly, fitness center, restaurant(s), business center, self-service laundry, internet access, spa services. Note on Hotwire says last person got Plaza Athenee. Last 5*. Theater district at $481. Rack rate is $705. Amenities are free internet, pet friendly, indoor pool, smoke free rooms, fitness center, restaurants, self-service laundry, and spa services. NO note on Hotwire that says what last person got. What do you think these are? Thanks, Mark

Yellowdog, Thanks for the help. We would probably prefer to start with Hotwire because we would prefer to know what the likely hotel is. Max budget per night before taxes and fees is $500. Zones are: Upper East, Upper West, Midtown Central, Times Square, Midtown East. Zones are in order of preference except that Upper East and Upper West are of equal preference. We really would like to be close to Central Park. Going with wife for weekend so we won't be bringing kids. Its our first trip so I want to take her somewhere nice. Thanks so much for your help. Mark

Headed to NYC weekend of Oct 2-5. Looking to stay at a 5* What is the best way to get started?
