I'm looking at a 4.5* SoHo/Tribeca PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for $397 from 10/7-10/10. Amenities are Pets, Restaurant, Fitness and Wireless. Guest rating 8+. I'd be happy with either of Tribeca Grand or Nomo Soho, which appear to fit within those parameters. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Interesting idea. Great pro tip! I'm actually thinking of shifting gears and looking at Soho/Tribeca. I think that we will get a more distinctive property (and more visibility on potential hotels) and it's actually more central to our planned itinerary. I have some more questions, but I'll post on the Priceline board since I'm looking at Priceline Express Deals now.

Thanks for the response! I'm going with my wife and would ideally like someplace nice with some character. We used to live in the Time Square/Hell's Kitchen area so that area has some nostalgic appeal for my wife. However, many of the Times Square hotels are a little generic for the price. Consequently, I've been focusing on 5* properties in that zone with the hope that I would get a distinctive property. We'd also like to stay someplace central with reasonably good access to subways. The Royalton is a nice option (convenient with some character) that I will consider seriously. We'd also be willing to stay someplace like SoHo as long as the hotel is close to subways. I've bid on Priceline (name your own price) up to $385 for a 5* in the Times Square area with no luck (they recently had a 7% off promotion). I'm intrigued by the 5* in the Times Square zone on Hotwire. The only 5* hotels that are in that zone appear to be the Chatwal and Knickerbocker, both of which would be great (the Sofitel looks just outside the zone), but I worry that I would get something else (like a 4.5* that was recently upgraded). I don't care that much about particular amenities, so I'm almost willing to take the Hotwire deal just based on the star rating and location. However, I wish there was a recommendation rating just to make sure I wasn't going somewhere with bad service. Anyways, any thoughts would be appreciated. Great site!

Any sense of why Hotwire would not furnish any information for the hotel? Are they withholding information because it would be unfavorable to them (e.g., recommendation ratings are low)? Or might it be because it would be too easy to guess? Also what is the likelihood that Hotwire has a hot rate for a hotel that is not included in its list of regular hotels?

I am hoping to get assistance identifying a 5* Times Square - Theater District hotel at $384 for 10/7-10/10. There is no description of amenities, recommendation level or % savings. The hotel list doesn't list any 5* hotels in the Times Square area and it doesn't appear that any of the 4.5* hotels on the hotel list were upgraded to 5* (unless Hotwire classifies hotels differently for purposes of Hot Rate v regular hotel prices). It appears that the only 5* hotels in the area are the Chatwal or the Kickerbocker (and maybe the Sofitel since it is right on the border). Any assistance would be appreciated.
