Hotwire Hotel: NYC Hotels 3-4* 8/21-8/25

[Jay Sandals]

Looking for 2 rooms in NYC for 4 adults 1 teenager from 8/21 thru 8/25. Was thinking TS but would consider other areas. It will be the first family visit to NYC. We will do all the tourist things so a central location would be nice. In another thread MTE was also recommended. I would prefer saving on hotel to spend on the tourist attractions.

Hotwire has given me the following

TS 4* $232/night + fees, Icons: Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet Access, 90% recommended

TS 3* $256/night + fees, Icons: Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant, High Speed Internet Access, 70% recommended

MTE 3* $203/night + fees, Icons: Suite, Fitness Center, Restaurants, High Speed Internet Access, Kitchenette, 95% recommended

MSG 4* $232/night + fees, Icons: Boutique, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet Access, 95% recommended

MSG 3* $203/night + fees, Icons: High Speed Internet Access, 55% recommended

Thanks in advance for your help and recommendations.

I used the HOTWIRE link and received the same prices as I quoted before. Any recommendations for hotels and what those prices listed are for? Thanks!

TS 4* <not seeing on a current HOTWIRE search >

TS 3* <not seeing on a current HOTWIRE search >

MTE 3* Beekman Tower

MSG 4* Hotel Indigo

MSG 3* <no guess>

I'm not seeing either of the Times Square properties when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing this on your own HOTWIRE search? If so, are you searching for 2rooms/2adults/1child?

As there were 5 properties, for the sake of time i looked for matches but didn't take any further steps for confirmation... if you're interested in any of the above let us know and we'll try to confirm for increased confidence in the guess.

I no longer see the TS 3* and the TS 4* is now $286.

The MSG 3* is now $199, 90% recommended, and has the following icons: Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet Access

Can you recommend any decent locations? The rooms will only be used for sleeping and showering. I am only know the selected areas from other threads.

Thanks.

What is your target maximum budget (per nite before fees and taxes) for this stay?

Max $225 before taxes but of course the cheaper the better. Thanks!

For your dates i think the best options are what i'm guessing to be the Doubletree Chelsea for $181/nite OR the Holiday Inn Express MSG for $208/nite (includes breakfast so could possibly justify some of the additional expense)

Let us know your thoughts on each, or if you have some other game plan, and we'll advise further.

Thanks for the recommendations but how do I get those prices? If I look at the hotel directly prices are about 50-70 more before fees.

Under hot Rates I get $226 (3*) and $272 (4*).

[thereuare]

They're my guesses as to what is available thru HOTWIRE.. is either/both of interest?

If so, let us know which you'd like to try for and we'll advise further (assuming still available)
