Hotwire Hotel: Help identify 3.5* & 4* New York Times Square-Theatre District

[AlliCat]

My stay dates are 11/19/10 - 11/26/10. I'm trying to determine which hotels these may be:

4* Times Square Theatre District, $189, 95% customer satisfaction

Amenities: Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet

3.5* Times Square Theatre District, $183, 90% customer satisfaction

Amenities: Boutique, Fitness Center, Restaurant, High Speed Internet

I'm guessing the first might be Crowne Plaza and the second Hotel Mela.

Would we be able to see the Thanksgiving Parade from the 4*?

Any recommendations on choosing between the two? The boutique probably has free WIFI, but maybe a tiny room.

Thanks, I'll use the HOTWIRE link to book.

The 4* is a possible match for the Intercontinental or Crowne Plaza, while the 3.5* is likely the Mela.

There is no guarantee of views w/HOTWIRE or PRICELINE; if you would like a particular view, it's best to call the hotel to request (a view may be a paid upgrade.)

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