Hotwire Hotel: 4* Groupon Mystery Times Square

[lew]

Groupon is offering a 4* hotel in Times Square, identity revealed 48 hours after the deal ends. The program is run through Expedia. I'm drawing a blank.

Rates start at $159

Rated 3.5 by trip adviser, 3.9 hotels.com and 4.1 by Expedia.

Some cut and paste:

it’s located right in Times Square and within an easy walk of other New York attractions, including Grand Central

The hotel’s standard guest rooms look out onto the Manhattan skyline from floor-to-ceiling windows, and superior rooms have better views from higher floors. Both have marble bathrooms and high-thread-count sheets, among other luxurious amenities. Before heading out for the day, enjoy a full breakfast buffet featuring smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and waffles, available for purchase at the hotel’s stylish restaurant and lounge. In the evening, the lounge serves a light café menu of sandwiches, salads, and New York cheesecake.

3.5 on trip adviser isn't all that great. Most of the hotels rated in that category include free internet. I spent more then 30 minutes trying to figure out the identity. I've come to the conclusion some of the information must be fudged. Either the hotel is rated slightly higher then listed or the internet may be free.
