Hotwire Hotel: Boutique or not Boutique?

I am booking a room in MTE for 4/18-4/20. The two rooms I've been circling are a 4.5*@ $163.00 [boutique, fitness, high-speed internet access, business center, spa] (W New York, perhaps?), and a 4* @ $156.00 [restaurant, pool, fitness center, high speed internet access, tennis] (UN Millenium Plaza?) I've been burned a few times in NYC by 3* hotels, so a 4* is a minimum. The UN Millenium Plaza looks nice, but my business is near Times Square, and I'm not sure how far it really is, in terms of shoe leather. Also, I've never stayed at a boutique hotel, so I'm unsure of the experience (although, a 4.5* rating should allay my fears).

On the other hand, what kind of 4.5* hotel has no restaurant?

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The "W New York" on Lexington (MTE) does indeed have a restaurant (according to Expedia... but who needs a hotel restaurant in NYC?!?). Hotwire doesn't always show all the amenity icons.

The advantage of the Millinium is that the rooms are bit large

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware that Hotwire doesn't always list all amenties. It makes it harder to pin down a property. I'm tempted to go with the boutique MTE hotel @ $163.00. I just don't want to book at one of the Schrager hotels (in fairness, I've never stayed at one, but know two people who have and had bad experiences). I've heard good things about the Kitano, which Hotels.com is offering @ $184.00. It might be worth it this trip to know what I'm getting.

I'm still wondering if that 4.5* is the W.

I'm not saying it is, but i'd be very surprised if it wasn't. Ultimately you're the one spending the money so it's a decision/risk only you can decide if it's worth taking.

Is this your first time using Priceline and/or Hotwire?
