Hotwire Hotel: Midtown Central ID help?

[leebick]

We are in NYC for 9 nights while daughter attends a Rockettes training program; not a cheap venture to stay 10 days in NYC, so I'd like to save as much as possible while still within walking distance of Radio City Music Hall.

Hotwire is showing Midtown Central, 7/23/11-8/1/11, 3.5 stars, fitness, restauran, business center, internet, with a 65% hotwire guest approval rating. Any idea what this might be?

Also... I am wondering if searching is futile. I am traveling with 2 teen girls and currently have a reservation for Hampton Inn Manhattan Times Square North for $199 plus taxes a night. Do you think I'll be able to beat this price?

Good morning. :)

Are you seeing this listing appearing when searching for more than 2 in the room?

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

Yes... although I searched for 2 adults and one child, the child being the 15 year old friend. Perhaps I should search for 3 adults.

I'm not seeing any hotels offered in the MTC zone when searching for 2adults/1child for your dates, and given what i speculate this hotel might be, i think you may have search for only double occupancy.

When searching for triple occupancy the only hotel i'm seeing offered that would beat your $199 back-up reservation would be the 3.5* in the MTE zone, and that's not going to get you closer to Radio City.

I'd stick with what you have for the time being, but continue to check HOTWIRE to see if rates come down between now and your stay.
