Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* New York City (Midtown East) The New York Palace

[Pete 1211]

I need opinion on two hotwire hotels: 4 1/2 stars in NY, NY the night of 10/18/2013

First is in Midtown east with Fitness Center, Self service laundry, business center, internet access

Accessibility:

blind,travel, wheelchair, deaf, in-room accessibility

Sounded like New York Palace?

the other was times square

pet friendly, fitness, restaurant, business center, internet

Accessibility:

blind,travel, wheelchair, deaf, in-room accessibility

Sounded like InterContinental Times Square?

Also most importantly, if they list Accessibility will I end up with a "handicap" room , with the sliding door and unusual bathroom?

thanks for the help

Welcome to BetterBidding :)

For both hotels, I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post. HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process. Can you please run a new search through bord's BiddingHelper.com on top of the page. Please copy and paste the amenities and price you'll see in the Easy View tab and we'll have a look at this.

These are both 4.5* rated?

If so, best guess for the MTE property would be the The New York Palace and my guess for the MTC property would be the Sofitel.

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

Yes these were 4 1/2

If there is a listing on the description regarding the Accessibility features, does that necessarily mean I'm getting a "handicap" room? I'd prefer the standard bath / shower to the modified bathroom.

Please report back if you go with the MTE property. I have been trying to figure this one out as well but my dates are different than yours.

Thanks :)

Correct... it is only meant that the accessible services are available.

However, just as with any reservation, it's possible that the hotel is very full and you're assigned to an accessible room if the hotel doesn't have anything else available at the time you check-in.
