Information before booking:
Reviews: Tripadvisor 4 out of 5, Hotwire customer reviews 90 % recommended
For 12/5 I just booked the 4* in Downtown Soho on Hotwire for $ 149. According to the amenities it sounded like the Millennium Hilton which turned out to be true.
I started bidding a couple days ago for December 5-11, went up to $ 145 and always got rejected. I had almost all areas in manhattan. Then i read the thread about splitting the dates and checked hotwire for good rates. Instead of checking in on December 5 i tried December 6 and Hotwire offered a 4* in the times square district for $ 142. Therefore i started at priceline for a 4* in the time square area at $ 100, but used December 6 as the check in date. As recommended i added more areas (first those with no 4* hotels) and ended up getting the Crowne Plaza for $ 124. Now i am really looking forwar to the trip and would like to thank this board for the great information offered!
