Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* NYC (MTE) Doubletree Metropolitan

[jpackfan]

Searching 6/20-6/22 I see a 3.5* in the Times Square area for $207 with Fitness Center and High Speed Internet as the only ammenities.

Anybody know what hotel this is?

Unfortunately, this listing has not yet been ID'd, but the detail page does show a 3/5 tripadvisor rating, so reviews are mixed.

I booked the following after checking rates often for a couple of weeks. I wanted to get a place until Wednesday 6/22 but that Tuesday night was killing the available rates. We are flyout out of Laguardia late morning on Wednesday and instead of paying about $300 more to stay in Manhatten we are going to get a $100 hotel at the airport Tuesday night (unless a deal shows up for Tuesday night - then we would just move to a different Manhatten hotel on Tuesday and go to the airport Wednesday. I hope we will be able to leave our bags at the Doubletree for a while on Tuesday after we check out.

When I booked it, I thought I'd get the Roosevelt but I'm happy enough with the Doubletree as long as I can get a non-smoking room. The Doubletree can be booked for $179/night for the same dates and I thought alot about just paying the difference to guarentee a non-smoking room. Then the Hotwire rate dropped and I took it for $143.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're happy with the results and this property should work well for your plans.

You're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
