Hotwire Hotel: 4* New York City (Midtown Central) City Club Hotel

[rkettle]

Searched for 4 star, Midtown.  Found this and booked it:

 

Free internet

Pet Friendly (extra charge)

Restaurants

Business Center (extra charge)

Self-service Laundry

Accessible path of travel

Accessible for the deaf

Roll in shower

Still gathering reviews

 

$552 for $349

 

Here's where it got frustrating.  I called the City Club to confirm the reservation and type of room.  Instead of two beds for two couples, we got a king bed, a roll away bed and a couch so technically it would sleep 4 adults.  The hotel (Keith) did allow me to upgrade to two double beds for an additional $30 per night.

 

All said and done, this is still a reasonable deal.  Lessons learned: 1.  Read the fine print.  It says "All rooms are guaranteed to sleep the number of guests you provided during your search, but we cannot guarantee the number of beds. 2. Call the hotel ASAP and confirm the arrangements.  You might be sleeping on a couch.

 

I could have booked through trip advisor for $922.38 vs $943.32 on Hotwire and without all of the hassle.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Glad to see you got this stay settled and are pleased with the ultimately outcome... thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Can you please add a reply to this thread confirming the room rate per nite as you listed it within your post as $349/nite but then listed the total as ~$950 for a 3 nite stay which mathematically doesn't compute correctly.

Feel free to ask the board for help before your future 'opaque' purchases and we will try to make the process a bit smoother and help with an even better outcome.

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

Enjoy your stay and time in NYC!
