Hotwire Hotel: NY Hotel help - Identifying 4* in Midtown

[aladyncal]

I am new to trying Hotwire, but willl certainly consider it because of the info on this board. I am a frequent Priceline user.

I don't see a hotel on the list that matches this, so I am checking to see if anyone familiar with NY has a clue.

I have checked both April 1-April7 and March 30-April 6 (to avoid putting in my actual dates of April 1-April 6). Both times, this hotel comes up.

Midtown East

$145

4*

Restaurant

Pool

Fitness

Business Center

Tennis Nearby

Thanks for any help :)

I'm wondering if it's the Millenium UN. I am not sure I want to have it if it is. On TOBB, there are negative reviews. I realize if I use Priceline, I have the chance to get it anyway :)

Check out this thread and scroll beyond the first post: New York Hotwire Hotels and you'll see the following:

4* Millennium U.N. Plaza Hotel

Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business Center, Tennis

So i would suspect that this is indeed the Millenium UN

Here is a REVIEW from a member of our board.

Personally i have heard decent things about the hotel except for the location as it is a bit east and requires a little bit of a walk to subways.

When you have the time, we would appreciate you contributing your past Priceline wins to the board.

Thanks!

I was wondering what the trick was of avoiding putting in your actual dates on Hotwire first of all?

Am I missing something and is this good practice for any reason while you are just browsing through possible hotels?
