Priceline Hotel: 4* New York City (Midtown East) W New York Hotel

[dmarzo]

I am taking my family to NYC for the Thanksgiving parade

Check-in Wed, Nov 23; Check out Thursday, Nov 24th

TWO rooms

Started off with 5 Star, Times Square only at about $180 and got rejected; expanded to MTE

Expanded to 4 star

Bid $137 for 4 star and got accepted at W New York hotel

Very bummed - consistent reviews "Small rooms"...

Similar thing happened two years ago and I got two rooms at another postage stamp sized hotel (Hudson Hotel)

I swear I wont use Priceline again for NYC

(OK, I am being too negative - I will keep an open mind but that Hudson experience still brings back bad memories)

Thanks for posting, I'm sorry you ended up with that hotel albeit a good deal. My hesitation in adding MTE for my Thanksgiving trip to NY is partly for this reason and also cause I'm afraid I'd end up w/ the waldorf (never thought I would ever say that but I really don't like their rooms).

Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the results.

This property does have small rooms... but fortunately not as small as the Hudson). Some have been able to upgrade their rooms here so it's at least worth asking.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for your feedback. I am going to be more positive. I dropped a line to the hotel and they seem at least willing to listen which is refreshing by itself. The previous Hudson experience was such a bad one that I am overly skittish. Will provide a trip report upon my return. Thank you
