Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* NYC (Chelsea) New Yorker Ramada Plaza

[quackster]

I've found Distrikt Hotel on HOTWIRE and am wondering if it has been won on PRICELINE

Welcome to BetterBidding!

This property has not yet been reported to the board thru a PRICELINE purchase. All hotels reportd to the board would be found in our Priceline Hotel List.

What is the price of the HOTWIRE hotel? What is your maximum budget?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

Distrikt is listed on HOTWIRE at $239. That is about the maximum I want to pay. I travel to NYC every year or two and have never paid more than $140. Usually at the Paramount and most recently at Hotel 57. Prices have climbed steeply in the last 2 years. (Yes I'm using the Better Bidding links to HOTWIRE and PRICELINE)

The Distrikt may not be participating with PRICELINE; are you are interested in other hotels, and if so, which zones would you be interested in bidding on (Chelsea only?)

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

I will be going to a LOT of theater so I want to be not too far from Times Square. I will continue to look at Times Square, Chelsea, MTC. MTE can get me a liitle farther away than I'd like to be, as can Empire Stae area. I think I will keep an eye on the prices since I still have 3 months. I'm hoping mid Nov. might slow down.

Do you usually travel this time of year and/or in November??

The last time was 2 yrs. ago in Nov. Stayed at Hotel 57. They were under renovations which may be why it was such a good rate at that time. Also the Paramount used to be much more reasonable. I think they have also done a lot of redecorating judging by the photos on their website. It was getting a little run down the last time I was there. Is November typically a higher priced time of year?

Well I just booked on Hotwire (using the Betterbidding HOTWIRE link). Thought I would be getting the Distrikt Hotel. Listed on HOTWIRE at $229, NO AMENITIES. Ended up with The New Yorker Hotel which on the BetterBidding Hotel list has Restaurant, Fitness, and Internet. I am a little disappointed but understand fully that there are no promises on HOTWIRE and it is a chance. The New Yorker looks fine but be warned that their list of amenities has changed.

Just booked the New Yorker Hotel. Amenities on Betterbidding are Restaurant, Fitness and Internet. Hotwire listing has NO AMENITIES. Sounds like Distrikt Hotel. I'm sure the New Yorker will be fine and I understand there are no guarantees on Hotwire. Just be aware that listings are not always consistant.

Sorry to hear you didn't get the Distrkit, but nice rate for the Ramada Plaza.

Thank you for letting us know about the new amenity set for this HOTWIRE property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List for the state.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's HOTWIRE link.

Enjoy your stay.

Sorry to hear you didn't receive the hotel you were hoping for.

While this is not the Distrikt Hotel, at least the New Yorker has received great reviews since their recent renovation and is a decent discount vs. a conventionally booked room for these nites. Hopefully you will be able to make this work for your plans this trip.

Thank you for using the HOTWIRE link on the board to begin your purchase and for helping us add this new amenity combination (or lack thereof) to the Hotwire Hotel List

Enjoy your stay.
