AaronJB Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Quikbook.com has the Empire Hotel for $182 for a Junior King Suite, which would provide a larger space/fold-out sofa. The Quikbook deal is stay 1 night at $364, get 1 night free (a pretty RARE deal in NYC, if you ask me!). The Junior King Suites are $429 per night on the hotel website. This is a little bit out of the way, but it's a great deal.If this is of interest, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the site's link to Quikbook.com to start your purchase.If this is not of interest, I'd be happy to keep looking.

AaronJB Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 In terms of HOTWIRE, are you searching for 2 adults or 3? Link to comment
dwzdwz Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 In terms of HOTWIRE, are you searching for 2 adults or 3?I searched for both 2 and 3 adults. 3 adults only gave me 2 options, the Beekman tower and one other.Thanks for the Quikbook link, this is the first time I heard about the site, I'll check it out. Maybe I could book it first, then cancel if there is a better deal turns up! Do you know how reliable is Quikbook? :) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I haven't heard of any problems occuring with Quikbook.com - it is mentioned quite a bit on this site. I did not look into detail at the cancel policy, but it appears to be a refundable reservation (I would definitely double check) - non-refundables on Quikbook.com usually say "non-refundable".The issue with Hotwire is that if there are 3 people in your party and you only put down two, you will only get bedding for two - this is especially true in NYC, where rooms can be tiny (see, for example, the Hudson, where the average room is about 160-180 sq ft). Some hotels in NYC are max 2 per room. Link to comment
dwzdwz Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I see! Yeah, Quikbook looks to be promising, especially for the Junior bedroom it says I can pay later. I'll book through the link now. Thank you so much for your help!!!! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 You're welcome! Glad I could help - and 1 night, get 1 free is an AWESOME deal, especially for an upgraded room that will fit 3 comfortably in NYC. :)Enjoy your trip, and thank you for using the link. Link to comment
dwzdwz Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I just found a double beds room from New York Helmsley for $156 a night. It locates closer to the Time Square, and two beds would work great for me. But I will keep checking HOTWIRE until travel day, maybe a better deal might pop up.Thanks Aaron! Link to comment
dwzdwz Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Quick update, HOTWIRE didn't have better deal, so I ended staying at the New York Helmsley for $156 a night. I booked it through Hotels.com. Link to comment
