Thank you so much! 

 

You were right, it is the Lexington.

 

I was very careful and made sure to book via the HOTWIRE link on this page! 

 

Really annoying thing is, I saw a $168 for 4.5* midtown east, and went to snag it, and put in credit card and all that, and then it said the hotel was no longer available. Then I did another search again and it was still listed. I attempted payment 3 times before they have rid of the listing. I don't know if this was intentional bait and switch on Hotwire's part...

 

Also, multiple times, the results would list a hotel with low price, but when you click into it, the price went up by a lot. Really annoying marketing tactics by Hotwire.

Congratulations on your success!

Sorry to hear of the issues with the original listing, but i can assure you it's not a bait and switch situation... it has to do with the way HOTWIRE (and almost all hotel booking agencies) access hotel inventory and occasionally results in a stale quote to be shown (if it wasn't done this way it would cost all booking sites a LOT more to operate and would mean higher hotel prices for consumers... HOTWIRE wants you to buy a hotel room as they don't make any money until you do ;) )

You're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and use the board HOTWIRE link for your purchase.

Enjoy your stay.
