Hotwire Hotel: NYC 9/2-9/5 Help ID hotel and find a hotel

[nboston]

Hi, We're a group of 6 adults that needs 2 rooms in NYC 9/2-9/5 in any of the usual tourist spots (which I guess would mean

Midtown East/Central/South or Times Square on hotwire or MTE/MTS/MTW/UP-CPS on priceline) but any decent place

on Manhattan would probably work. It seems with it being the long weekend and everything that availability is extremely tight.

Hotwire shows 1 property for $222/night that is 4 star, and amenities: Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, Business Center. Any idea

what hotel this is and how this property measures up?

Any suggestions of other properties we could look at? Priceline doesn't seem to be a good option with only guaranteed

occupancy for 2 adults/room, but if we could get a good deal this way, we might opt for it.

Our per night per room budget is $240 but obviously we would like to go much cheaper than that and would prefer $160/night.

Thanks

Is that 3 people total or 3 people per room when you search 2 rooms, 3 adults on hotwire?

thanks

Actually you would need to search for 6 people and 2 rooms... but you will see that doing so only reveals one hotel for these dates. Just for comparison puproses re-run the search for 6 people and 3 rooms and you'll see how many hotels can't handle (or don't want) more than double occupancy in the room.

You could get a 1BR suite at the Beekman Tower for $215/nite. There is only one bed in the bedroom but there is a pull-out couch in the living room... don't know how this would work for your needs.

If the $225/nite thru Hotwire above is your best deal i would sooner try first for 3 rooms thru priceline... with a $150 (or higher?) maximum bid.

Let us know how you want to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.
