Welcome to BetterBidding!

 

To get started... what are the actual dates of your trip?

 

Also, I believe there are 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 search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above?

 

What is your maximum budget (per nite before taxes/fees) for this trip?

 

Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Hey there, 

 

Thanks for the tips. It seems like amenities are the same when I search through your Hotwire Easy View tab.

 

The exact dates are 11/25/16 - 11/26/16.

 

I would say max budget is $350 depending on which hotel it is—aiming for The Plaza or something of comparable quality. Thanks!

As per above, are you clicking the GREEN button next to each listing within the EASY VIEW TAB??

Thanks, I am clicking the green "full amenities" button next to the listings within Easy View. It does not pop any  more amenities then when I search through Hotwire (linked from your site).

 

Any idea what any of those hotels could be? Aiming for The Plaza in Central Park South but not opposed to other similar 5 star hotels. Thanks!

Using the 5* Rock Center property as an example, you don't see the following when you click the GREEN FULL AMENITIES CLICK HERE button?

 

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

Regardless, i assume this property with its $434/nite price tag is not a possibility given its well beyond your budget for this trip?

 

Using the 'COPY AMENITIES' button (after clicking the GREEN FULL AMENITIES button) please confirm the full amenity set for the hotel(s) that you're interested in and that are within your budget for this trip.

--Looks like Hotwire search prices just went up but the bidding helper prices are all different from the ones directly searched on Hotwire.

Best guess/comments for each:

 

SoHo-Tribeca 5* Hotel
Price: $215

==> 11 Howard

 

Union Square-Flatiron 5* Hotel

Price: $300

==> The Marmara Park Avenue

Central Park South 5* Hotel

Price: $293

==> Viceroy Central Park New York

 

You may also want to consider the following 4.5* property (confirm your dates on the landing page):

4.5* Central Park South for $183
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Restaurant
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Fitness Center

==> best guess here would be the Le Parker Meridien New York, which although a half star lower than the ones above, still gets very good reviews and would be quite a bit cheaper than many of the above (which in turn leaves more money left over for shopping!)
