Hotwire Hotel: Newbie - Help needed 5 nts in NY October

[heart_aflutter]

Hi there

 

I'm totally new to Hotwire/Priceline so I thought I could do with a bit of help with booking a hotel in NY (Midtown/Times Square ideally but open to Soho/Chelsea) from Oct 8-13. Ideally 4* upwards and ideally under $260/night. I am travelling on my own so will be looking for a single occupancy room.

 

There are a couple that look good on hotwire but not sure how to identify them:

 

4* Times Square $246/night 85% recommended - Smoke-free room, fitness centre, restaurant, business centre, self-service laundry, Internet access

 

4* Midtown East $254/night 85% recommended - Pet-friendly, boutique hotel, Fitness centre, restaurant, business centre, self-service laundry, Internet access, spa services

 

4* Empire State Building, $242/night, 80% recommended - Free internet, fitness centre, restaurant, business centre, self-service laundry

 

Thanks very much for any advice and sorry if I forgot any details - if yes please let me know!

Oh I see!! Thank you so much, that definitely helps! 

 

Now thanks to that I have found this 4.5* in Chelsea advertised at 240 USD/night:

 

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

Do you think this is Eventi Kimpton? As it's the only one listed as 4.5* in Chelsea? It has amazing reviews everywhere so I would be very tempted to go for it!

 

EDIT: I have been looking around on Priceline as well and there is a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for a 4* hotel in Chelsea with Pets Allowed, Fitness, Restaurant, Guest rating 9+, at $234/night... Could this be the Eventi Kimpton? 

 

Also do you think I stand any chance of getting this hotel at a lower price through the bidding process?

 

Sorry for all the questions, really keen on staying at this hotel now!

My guess for this 4 star Chelsea hotel with Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Fitness Center would indeed by the Eventi.

You could try bidding on PRICELINE for a better price, but you then could receive any hotel in the zone at this star rating (or higher)... no ability to take a guess as to the property you may receive (nor ensure one that has a 9+ user review rating)

Let us know how it goes or how we can be of further help.
