thereuare Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 As you might imagine these are very common amenities for a 4* hotel in NYC. The 4* Gild Hall, SoHo Grand, and Doubletree Financial District have all been reported to the board at the 4* level and with this amenity set, so any of these would be likely, but there could also still be others as well.You do have the 'comfort' of this property showing a 4.0/5.0 TA rating as well as a 90% recommendation from previous HOTWIRE guests, but if you would like further confidence you could see if this hotel is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to 'look behind the curtain', if you're pleased with the results go ahead and immediately purchase the remaining nites... if not, make other plans for the remaining nites of your trip.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

lethalcupcake Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 Thank you. Appreciate the help!I think I'll hold off on this deal an attempt some bids through priceline, instead. I'd rather stay north of the financial district.

lethalcupcake Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 I ended up not going for this deal but rather going through PRICELINE. Winning bid was $215 for the Renaissance Hotel 57. I'll post the win in the Priceline forum.
lethalcupcake Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 Had the option of going for a 4* in SoHo/Financial district for $165, but wanted a less business'y location. Decided to try some bids on PRICELINE and settle for the $165 one if I didn't have any luck. Started bidding for 4* in central Manhattan, gradually adding more of the available zones (between financial district and central park) and upping the bid: 165-180-190-205-210-215$215 was the absolute highest that I was planning on bidding. It's not a super great deal, but I suspect it would be hard to do much better considering the dates I was looking for (from Christmas Eve to New Years Eve).
AaronJB Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Congrats on your success. :)Certainly not a bad deal for the holidays - hope the hotel will work well for your travel plans.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
