Welcome to Betterbidding.

 

Please note that the hotels that have been reported to the board can be found here: Hotwire Hotel List New York

 

4* MTC - not yet ID'd/reported to the board. Maybe new amenity set for City Club, but that's just a guess.

4* UWS - likely Empire.

4* UWS Boutique - Possibly new amenity set for NYLO.

4* ESB - likely St Giles the Court or Carlton.

5* MTC - likely Westhouse, given the resort fee

4.5* MTC - no guess.

[WestEWest]

Thank you!  Anything pop up to you as an especially good deal?

 

Any ideas on this one?

 

3.5* East Village - Lower East Side area Hotel

95% recommended

$298 from $394

• Pet friendly
• Fitness Center
• Restaurant(s)
• Business Center

EDIT: I see it's probably Wyndham Garden Chinatown.  Does this look right?

[AaronJB]

That amenity set would be a likely match for the Wyndham Garden Chinatown.

 

To try to help narrow/focus the search, are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel?

It's just 2 of us and we would like to keep it around $300/night.  We're not tied to any particular area as long as it has access to the subway, but if I had to choose probably West Village, Tribeca, Union Square, or Midtown Central.  Doesn't need to be super luxurious, but a little step up from the Holiday Inn, Hilton Gardens, Courtyard by Marriott type of places would be nice.  Just trying to get a good deal on a nice place.

Looks like the Holiday Inn Soho?

[AaronJB]

Likely Holiday Inn Soho.

 

I'm seeing a 4* in MTE w/:Restaurant, Pool, Indoor Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Tennis for $234. Likely the OneUN. Not ultra convenient at the far East border of MTE, but not bad and cheaper than the options above. I'm also seeing the ESB mentioned in the original post now for $275, down a bit from yesterday.

Thanks for the help.

 

This hotel recently came up, which I deduced was The Tuscany - St Giles.

 

4.5* ESB

$306 from $534

Direct booking through the hotel for my dates for a reservation (not prepaid) was cheaper than Hot.wire by about $30 for the duration of the stay.  No-brainer to book with them for a sure-thing at a better price with the benefit of being able to cancel and reschedule without penalty.

Is this what you're going to try to stick with OR are you still looking for something cheaper?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.... or the links at maps.hotel for your non-opaque purchases.

[WestEWest]

Always looking for a better deal!

[thereuare]

You can sign up at Rate.drop and receive an alert any time 4*-5* hotels for your dates fall below your current back-up price.

I see what is likely the Wyndham New Yorker for about $242/nite, it's not as nice as the Tuscany, but at $65/nite savings you'll have to decide if it's a worthwhile option for you or not.

Let us know what you ultimately decide for this stay or if we can be of further help.
