Hotwire Hotel: 4* NYC (Downtown-Soho-Financial) Embassy Suites

[lauraw78]

I have had my hotel cancelled with HOTWIRE, Chelsea Doubleetree. They have offered me any other hotel though, at any price in any area for the dates Im going on.

My dates are 26th May-2nd June. I don't mind where it is I stay in Manhattan.....can anyone help?

Cheers

I may just go for the 4* Crowne Plaza, seems like a good deal for

[thereuare]

The Times Square property or the MTE property (Restaurant, Fitness, Internet, Business, Tennis with 820+ reviews.... believed to be the Grand Hyatt) would be my top choices.

I don't see the midtown east propery, there are 2 adults and 1 child travelling, thats probably why.

I have just received an email off crowne plaza, they don't have microwaves, (I need a microwave to sterilize bottles) and they charge $30 for a fridge, so I may just go with the Murray Hill east suites which have all of that already without extra fees, plus, I don't want to be bang in the middle of the chaos that is Times square with a 6 month old everyday =)

I woudl sooner go wtih a higher rated hotel than the Murray Hill Suites, although it does give you a kitchen which is handy with an infant. I've had success going to the hotel restaurant (during a slow time of day) and asking them help out with whatever i needed (cup of milk, sterilizing bottles, etc) and i tip them a few bucks for helping out. :)

It's up to you what type of hotels you like, but given this is an extended stay, i would try the restaurant option and if that fails, a cheap microwave can be bought at Kmart, Target, etc for $50 or so... even at $100 you're look at just $15/nite additional cost (for the disposable microwave) in order to be able to upgrade your accomodations vs. the Murray Hill Suites.

Just to let you know, I eventually booked the Embassy Suite Hotel, which Im totally made up with.

That is a teriffic rate for a nice property with true two room suites and full cooked to order breakfast. Nice to see that you received an even better deal, but it seems that HOTWIRE has been inconsistant with how they treat guests that have been "walked" from the Doubletree Chelsea.

Thanks for the follow-up!
