If you are not on the US version of the HOTWIRE site, please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase stay on the US version of their site and simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.

Using this method what is the room rate per nite for each of the properties above? What is your budget per nite (before fees/taxes) for this trip?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

The prices in USD are

Central park east $464

Midtown Central $574

Midtown East $619

My budget per night is up to $650. Around the $550 mark would be ideal

Thankyou for your so far. I just had a question about hotwire ratings in helping to ID hotels. For example the central park east hotel above has a user rating of 100%. If I look up the Pierre, Taj Hotel using the holiday package option on hotwire the rating is only 96%. Do these ratings normally match?

The package side of the service is offered by Expedia - different service/customer ratings.

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

I booked the 5* MTE and ended up with The Towers at the Palace as you correctly guessed. Thank you very much I'm happy with my purchase. I paid $610 per night. :D

[AaronJB]

Congrats on your success. :)

Good deal for this property and hope you are looking forward to your stay. Thank you for letting us know about this new HOTWIRE property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List.

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

Enjoy your stay.

Do you remember if this listing had a tripadvisor rating of 4 stars? I'm hoping for the Palace but am leery of bidding because the TA rating is 4.5 stars, not 4 as listed on my notification of my dates that popped up today.
