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

[Reisen]

Great little site you have here. I think I had known such sites existed previously, but never bothered until now. Maybe I'll stop by more often.

First off, I just booked the W New York (on Lex) through Hotwire for $248 a night (I booked two rooms, 2 nights each). I wanted a W, and the site helped me confirm based on the amenities (Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Spa). I was torn between this, an SPG 50 rate at the Sheraton, or the W Downtown for $256 (also through Hotwire). I was also considering the new Conrad in Battery Park, and the Millenium Hilton. In the end, my wife liked the midtown location of the Lex hotel.

I realized after winning that the Hotwire rate gives you the base room at the W New York, which is 150 sq ft with 1 queen. I considered cancelling (I'm a PRICELINE EXPRESS Member through Hotwire, put a couple of grand through them each month), but called the hotel directly, and upgraded to a larger room (with a king bed) for $35 per room, per night (so an extra $140 total), which I'll pay with Starpoints.

One other thing to note was that my rate was $2 lower calling Hotwire Express versus using the website ($248 vs $250). So for a total of 4 nights, I saved $8 :D .
