Hotwire Hotel: Help first time bidding Times Square Hotwire

[spinsker]

I'm trying to book Westin New York at Times Square. Hotwire is currently showing $191.00 for 4 1/2 stars at Times Square. The amenities are:

Restaurant

Fitness Center

High Speed Internet

business Center

Spa Services

I'm booking for July 9-13th. Is this the Westin Times Square?

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

We can say that these match the known amenities, zone, and star rating of the Westin; so everything points to it it being the Westin, but nobody will know for certain until after the purchase since there could be other hotels that we don't yet know about with the same exact star rating and amenities. I'd be fairly confident in this purchase.

If you decide to go for it let us know how it goes.

I tried to book this yesterday am and it was already gone. I've been checking back and all there is now is a 4 1/2 star Times Square with 2 amenities (restaurant and fitness center) for $190. Any idea which hotel this is?

Thanks!

It's possible it's the same hotel as yesterday. Hotwire varies what amenities are shown. No way to know for sure, of course.

I'm guessing it's a different hotel.

Amenities do change/vary, but in my experience not on a day-to-day basis.

I would sooner guess that The Muse dropped their Boutique icon, but more likely it's an entirely different hotel.

Why not expand your search beyond the Times Square area? These appear to be available for your dates:

MTE Inter-Continental The Barclay $129

MTE Swissotel $154

MTC Sheraton NY $154
