Hotwire Hotel: Help identifying various NYC hotels

[joshdacane]

Hi all - I'm not overly picky about where I stay, as long as it's well-regarded, so I've looked at a few highly recommended ones but am having trouble figuring them out. This is for a trip to NYC from 7/26 to 7/29 (3 nights).

3.5*, Midtown Central, $116 - Amenities: Pet friendly, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access

3*, Chelsea, $128 - Amenities: Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access

4*, Chelsea, $151 - Amenities: Pet friendly, Boutique Hotel, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Accessible

Thanks for your help in figuring these out!

I think there may be more amenities associated with this property. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click this offer to get to the details page, then on the details page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.

The only thing I missed was the specifics on accessibility: "Accessible for the blind, accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in Shower."

Other amenities are all the same.

Bidding help for NYC (multiple zones) 7/26-29

I'm looking at coming up to NY next weekend for a long weekend, and am considering bidding using Priceline (considering other options as well). I'm not overly picky but plan to bid at the 4 (or 4.5 star) level to be safe.

Please note that there is a $144 for a 4-star on Priceline Express in one of my zones, currently, so I would want my upper limit to probably be $125 for a $4-star (the extra $20 is worth it to guarantee amenities). I would be willing to pay up to $175 for a 4.5 star.

The areas that I prefer are: Soho-Tribeca, Chelsea, MSG, Hell's Kitchen. I would be okay with, but do not prefer: ESB, Midtown East, Midtown West.

Are either of these numbers realistic (and what should my strategy be), or would I be better taking the Priceline Express deal?

Thanks!

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

For now, the HOTWIRE deals have disappeared (or the prices increased), so I am likely going to do PRICELINE. However, as I am not 100 percent confirmed on my trip yet, I've not planned my bidding yet.

Please wait until your plans are firm before asking for hotel IDs as the offers (and prices) for the hotels you ask about may not be the ones offered once you're ready to commit to a purchase, so it saves us from doing double the work.
