Hotwire Hotel: Help with Identifying 4 1/2 star Hotel NYC

[Antony]

Just for fun I thought I'd check out the rates for New Year's Eve. Found a 4 1/2 star hotel, Midtown Central with the following ammentities: Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center. Any ideas. I checked the Hotwire Hotel list but didn't find this.

Also, is it just madness on New Year's Eve. I expect a mass number of people. Thought it would be fun to do just once. Can you get close to Times Square on New Years for the ball drop? We are planning 3 nights over Thanksgiving but not until the Friday after the Parade. Mistake??? Is the parade something not to miss?

NYE in Times Square is madness... if you want to be close to the ball dropping you'll need to get there early in the morning on 12/31 and plan on being there for the day. What dates are you searching for as i'm not seeing any 4.5* rated hotel in the MTC zone when searching HOTWIRE for the solo nite of 12/31. What is the price and are you willing to pay this for a nite in NYC on NYE?

As far as Thanksgiving goes, the parade is pretty cool, but rates are much higher for the Wednesday nite before Thanksgiving then they are for the Friday and days immediately after. Have you already booked a hotel for your Thanksgiving trip?
