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

[Maeva]

Hi,

 

I'm planning a trip to NYC August 15th to 17th. I currently see a 4* in Midtown East for $167 (CDN). First of all, is that a good deal for this time of the year? It sounds good but I wanted some input... Should I wait?

 

Second, I see the following amenities: 

-Boutique hotel, restaurant, internet access, deaf accessible, in room accessibility, roll in shower, fitness center, business center, accessible for the blind, accessible bathroom, accessible path of travel.

 

85% recommend.

 

It seems like it would be the W (boutique hotel) but I'm not 100% sure... Any help ID this hotel?

 

Thank you!

Please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOT.WIRE's page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOT.WIRE 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 the method above what is the room rate per nite in US Dollars?

It was $150/night when I searched a few minutes ago but it's now gone... Weird!

 

But then I see a 4* 1/2 that is $175 (also Midtown East)... Hmmm.. not sure if I should book now :/ My guess would be the Plaza but with a $70 valet parking I'm not tempted to book. It certainly adds to the nightly cost!

Unfortunately, parking in NYC (and other major cities - Chicago is especially rough with parking costs, too) is going to be pricey at the majority of hotels.

 

Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions.

You don't need to park your vehicle with the hotel... find a private garage nearby to leave your vehicle. If not travelling solo, you can drop one person with your bags/luggage at the hotel to check-in while the other person goes to find a local garage to leave the car for the duration of your stay since it won't be necessary to have a car in NYC.

I think this is what I will do.

 

Can anyone help ID the following 4.5*? 

 

Midtown East - $175 (USD)

 

90% recommend

 

Internet access, fitness center, business center, restaurant, spa, self-service laundry, accessible for the blind/deaf, accessible path of travel.

I finally went ahead with the 4.5* on Hot.wire. I tried bidding on PL for a 4.5 & 4* up to $175 with no success.

 

Got the NY Palace which looks like a very nice hotel!Very happy to be going back to NYC and staying at this hotel this time.

 

I used your HOTWIRE links to make the purchase.

I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above? Using this method, this is what i see for the 4.5* hotel in this zone when searching for your dates:

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Laundry

Hi-Speed Internet

Spa

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Wheelchair Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

... if this is what you're seeing, my best guess for this one would be the The New York Palace.
