Is this One UN NY Millennium Hilton?

I'm not currently seeing any 4.5* hotel in this zone when searching for your dates... are you still seeing this one on your own search?

If so, are you able to click the offer and get to the booking page (vs. seeing a message that the offer is no longer available)?

 

I'm very familiar with NYC, what is it that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip and what is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes)

yes  I know you know NYC you helped me identify barclays last Oct.

Anyway, I just did another search and I found the same 4.5 in grand central.  It's a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal.  I am signed in which maybe makes a difference? I also can click through to booking.  Here's all the info from the website.  I don't really have a budget....just want a nice hotel at a great price.  If this is Hilton UN, it looks like a good deal.  Any ideas?

I guess you're still not seeing it?

I'm not seeing it either, although $135 for a 4.5* is certainly a good rate for these dates. Is location important or are you just looking for a nice place to sleep for one night?

I'm not seeing any 4.5* hotel in the Grand Central zone for your dates... can you paste a link to the offer.

Thanks guys for looking...I ended up booking directly with Hilton One UN Plaza on  AAA special for 185 including tax for a queen.  I figured with the double points offer through 8/31 plus being gold (28 points/$) plus Amex Hilton (12 points/$)....I should clear 40 points per $ or close to 7400 HH points which was worth the extra $16 (I had a 10% off express which brought the total to 169 and change).  The hotel is now sold out for sat night.  I'm 90% sure that Express offer was for the Hilton Millinium one UN Plaza but I now I know.  Sometimes the express deal or NYP isn't always the best deal.  Even with double points and no AmEx card is would have been 3700 points which is worth about $18.50...
