Hotwire Hotel: 3* - Times Square - 9/6 to 9/9/08 - identify?

[deal986]

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!

I'm not one of the experts, but that hotel came up for my dates (3 days before yours) so I took a stab at it. I think it actually might be the Paramount. This hotel used to come up as a 3 star and according to the $225 listing for your dates, it has 920+ Trip Advisor reviews with the latest being in August (which the Paramount does). The Crowne Plaza only has 295 reviews. Hope this helps!

The Paramount has been upgraded back to a 3* hotel and that would be our best guess as to the ID of the hotel above.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.
