Hotwire Hotel: Pls help ID some hotels (Chelsea/MSG + MTC)

[Miamimom]

I've never used Hotwire for hotels, but considering it w/the sticker shock I've got from the high season rates for Sept. 29-Oct. 2. Can't use Priceline as we need 2 beds for our family of 2 adults and 12 and 14 year olds. Only been to NYC once, and stayed at a Kimpton in midtown (in summer, with rock bottom rates). Location was ok, but thought we'd like to be a little more south, ie Tribeca (we are definitely not Times Square types). Trying to stay as far under $300 a night as possible, incl taxes, without entering fleabag territory.

Any idea what these hotels are?:

Chelsea/MSG 3.5 stars, $251 night, 85% recommend

fitness, dining, business center, hi speed

Chelsea/MSG 3 stars, $247 night, 90% recommend

fitness, dining, business, hi speed

Midtown Central, 3 stars, $253/night

fitness, pool, dining/hi speed

Any advice is appreciated!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

The 3* MTC is a possible match for the Holiday Inn Midtown; the 3.5* Chelsea-MSG is a possible match for the Ramada New Yorker or Doubletree. The 3* Chelsea is a possible match for the Hilton Garden Inn Chelsea or Holiday Inn 6th Ave.

Thanks so much - love this site! But, I managed to find a rock bottom rate at the World Center Hotel with a discount code I found. The rate is refundable just in case I can beat it, but I doubt that is possible for this trip. Not loving the location, but we can make it work for the price. Thanks again.

Really I was very curious about Hotwire too, but since they have been around for quite awhile and have all those commercials on then it seems like it must be okay if it wasn't I am sure it would be long gone. You can select how many star hotel you want and what area you want to be in and of course the best part what price you want to pay. If you are going for one night then I would totally try it , it couldn't be that bad especially if you select 4 stars and if for some reason it is that bad well then you have one not great hotel in Philly for one day at a great price and know not to use Hotwire again.

So you can select your choiceable hotel at your own requirement within your budget. Thanks
