Any Ideas on either of these? Guessing the Soho hotel is World Trade center, as it seems to be popular on Hotwire.com, but reviews seem higher on other sites?

Thx :)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

St. Giles The Court has been seen at the 4* level and with just a solo Internet icon in the ESB zone, so that would be my best guess for this one, but can never be too certain with just one (common) amenity icon.

A property with the Downtown amenities has not yet been reported to the board.

HOWEVER, i'll add that i'm not seeing either of these properties offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing this when searching for your dates? If so, are you searching for more than one room OR for more than the default 2adults/0children?

I went online again and do not see the 4 star ESB currently :(. I will keep trying back and forth tonight. Any other suggestions to bid on PRICELINE for > 300 3.5/ 4 star , same dates? If I see the ESB 4 star I will prob book it and will follow up on here.

I'll add that if budget is a deciding factor, a 4* in Hoboken-Jersey City can like be had for the ~$200/nite area. This area provides easy access to Manhattan via PATH trains in about 15 minutes. It's not as covnenient as staying directly in the city, and you do lose the 'buzz' factor, but if you're the type that typically leaves the hotel in the morning and doesn't return until later at nite, the $100/nite savings could certainly go a long way to splurging a bit in the city on something you might not otherwise spend the money on.

???

If you're open to other zone(s), is a <very> small room acceptable? Is a hotel that could be up to a 15 minute to the subway an option?
