latentpower Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi Fellas, I'm looking for a place to stay in New York for Dec 19-21. No itinerary just looking around with someone who hasn't been to NYC before. I was thinking MTW would be a great location for this time of year. I would love to stay at the Algonquin but realize that there are too many other options in that star range and area to really target it. Generally I'm thinking centrally located (Times Square, MTW, Grand Central), 3.5 star quality or higher on either priceline or hotwire. I'm wary of those in the MTE cohort as some are a bit of a hike to the typical sites. Trying to avoid super small rooms where possible. Budget according to quality, I'd like to feel like I got a deal. Do you have any suggestions? Would love to end up with a hotel like the Sofitel, Algonquin... Thanks Regards,LP Link to comment
latentpower Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am trying to identify a 5 star, empire state with free internet, fitness center, and restaurant(s) only. 100% recommended at $336 a night base rate. Could you please help? Looks like the Refinery best guess. Would have been a steal for the plaza.... I've moved on to a 5 star midtown central at $370. free internet, pet friendly, indoor pool, pool, restaurant, business, laundry, spa. 100% recommended, 4.5/5 on tripadvisor. Doesn't seem to be a direct match to anything on the list. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I believe there were likely 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. For future searches/bookings you can do the following to ensure you're seeing the complete list: 1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button OR 2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com) and...click the offeron the next page click the BOOK NOW linkin the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenitiesUsing the method(s) above this is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 5 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates: Free Internet Pet Friendly Indoor Pool Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ... if this is what you're seeing, i'm not certain, but my guess for this one would be The Peninsula. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

latentpower Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thank you.I will follow your instructions. I would have loved to have snagged the peninsula! Unfortunately it looks like that hotel is gone now - so back to the drawing board. Link to comment
Romelle Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 You've got quite a bit of time yet. When I've been closely watching Hotwire offers, sometimes they almost "blink" on and off. If you check regularly for a while, the offer may well come back. (Or you could see one you like even better.) But when you see one you like, best not to hesitate very long. Romelle Link to comment

Likely Intercontinental TS. 4.5* MSG - unfortunately, this listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'm seeing a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating so quality shouldn't be a concern in this case. 4.5* MTC - Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Pet Friendly Likely Sofitel.
