CheapZone Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I am usually a Priceline user but after no luck several times bidding for a 4 star up to $110 I was faced with either waiting it out or lowering to a 3*. However several 3* in MTE do not have favorable reviews and I didn't want to take the chance. I decided to go with Hotwire and with what I was pretty sure was the faborably reviewed Roosevelt hotel (thanks to this board). Their website is advertising $185 for these dates so I definately got a good deal.Hotwire$111.00 x 4 nights = $444$75.95 in taxes in fees$520.95 Grand total06/16/04 to 06/20/043.5* RooseveltAmenities:Restaurant/Fitness/High Speed Internet/Business Ctr Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Congratulations on your win.Glad we were able to help out. Be sure to check out Ess-A-Bagel for breakfast as your hotel is very close to it and it's a great place for an inexpensive breakfast with some of the best bagels in NYC.Enjoy your time in the city and thanks for posting. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
