Welcome to BetterBidding :)

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?

If you don't see more amenities so try this,

HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.

This workaround has been successful in order to see the complete set of amenities:

· use this link to search HOTWIRE

· from the search results page click the offer for this hotel

· on the next page click BOOK NOW (no worries about purchasing by accident since no credit card information is entered up to this point)

· on the left side of the page click the 'See all amenities' link

This should show you the full list of amenities associated with each offer.

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

This is a different property then the one you had previously posted above, and unfortunately this one has not yet been reported to the board.

Is there something in particular you're looking for from this stay, as i do think there are better values offered for your dates then this one... what is your maximum budget per nite (before fees/taxes) for this trip?

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

[UNCSoc]

I think you are right about that.

My problem is that I need something close to 54th and 7th ave, which is the Midtown Central area (or Midtown West in PRICELINE). Open to ideas on this. I have tried shortening the stay by a night, and getting a hotel closer to the airport for Monday night.

Am open to lower rated hotels, if the price is right and the user ratings are reasonable. My experience has been that below 8 on PRICELINE will usually disappoint in some way.

Thanks!

[thereuare]

In NYC the zones are so close together, geographically small, and mass transit (or taxis) readily available and relatively inexpensive that if you're a little flexible you can save money by staying in a nearby zone... even if too far to walk, adding in the cost of a bus, subway, or sometimes even taxi fare can make staying outside of your ideal location a better value.

What is your maximum budget per nite for this trip? (before fees/taxes)

If location needs to be more important than price you can also try our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com... search within 1 mile of '54th St and 7th Ave, Manhattan' and then zoom in on the map to see all hotels in the immediate area, easily seeing how much more/less it would cost to go up/down in star rating or stay outside of the immediate area you're trying to target. (you can also use the FILTER section to UNcheck star ratings that you're not interested in, the slider to set a price range (which helps clear unwanted hotels from the map), and sort by price)... it's a very powerful too!

[UNCSoc]

Very helpful, thanks. I am trying to find a hotel for under 190, or a lesser hotel under 160. Something like that.

[thereuare]

I am now seeing yet a new 4* hotel in the MTC zone for your dates, but i am seeing a variety of 4* options at $190 or below, so we can try to zero in on which property(s) may be best for you for this trip, what exactly is it that you're looking for from this stay?

[UNCSoc]

Sounds good. Thanks. Location is the main thing, since I will be in and out of the hotel over the course of the day. And a comfortable room with a desk to work at. That is about it. Have been working the 4 star properties, but 3 is fine if a better value.

Here is the closest that HOTWIRE has now:

4* $185

Please post only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.

4-star Hotel in Midtown Central

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

These amenities are common for NYC and the Helmsley Park Lane, Royalton, Warwick, and Sheraton New York have all been seen with this amenity set, so any of these would be among the likely outcomes (although with amenities this common it could still very well be something else as well)

I'll also add that what looks too be the Novotel New York Times Square is offered at $192/nite, as is what appears to be the Hotel Manhattan at Times Square for $188/nite, and both of these would be very close to your target location, should either of these be of any interest.

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

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I think the Novotel would work well. Is that in the Midtown Central or the Times Square area? (They change the prices a lot it seems so not sure which one might be Novotel.)

Thanks!

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

[UNCSoc]

Thanks for the help. I was checking out PRICELINE with some bids and got The Iroquois Hotel, 4 star, Midtown West for $180. I was moving too fast on that, though, and should have realized I had a few more bids to go before going quite that high. The consolation is that it is a fairly highly rated hotel. A bit farther from my target because PRICELINE has that odd shaped Midtown West area.
