[Trav627]

I'd be grateful if someone could help me identify the following Hotwire Central Park Area hotels:

3* Boutique, breakfast, high speed internet

3.5 * Boutique, restaurant, high speed internet

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your assistance. I am a frequent visitor and prefer this location for a couple of reasons. The dates I am looking for at this point at June 8-10 and the prices are $159 for the 3* and 179 for the 3.5*.

The 3* is likely the Franklin. The 3.5* is more difficult; I'm guessing it's On the Ave, downgraded from 4*.

The On the Ave is $179.20 on sale on Orbitz, and you can get 10% off each night by using the coupon code deal0hotel = $161.28

Please use the site's Orbitz.com or HOTWIRE links to start your purchase.

One other suggestion would be the Salisbury, which isn't far at all from Central Park (it would be in what I would classify as "Upper Midtown") That's $111 on Expedia.com and you can get $10 off using coupon code 10MAY.

That hotel gets very good reviews. It's an older and somewhat basic property, but it gets great reviews and is in a very good location.

Please use the site's Expedia.com link if this is of interest.

Additionally, large 1BR suites at the Salisbury are $153.30 on Expedia.com for these dates (and you can use the 10MAY coupon code.)

I don't believe the 3.5* is On the Ave since on my HOTWIRE search it's showing the HOTWIRE property offered has a 3.5/5.0 with 460+ reviews... while on the Ave is rated higher than 3.5 and has more reviews.

If i were take a shot i'd say the Bentley would be my best guess.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I didn't see the tripadvisor rating when I looked yesterday, but I do see it today and agree that the Bentley would be a good possibility.

However - if this was the Bentley it would be eligible for a "Double the Difference" guarantee from HOTWIRE, since it's $159.20 on Orbitz.com.

[Trav627]

Thanks for your help. I have not finalized my plans but will be sure to book through this site's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links when I do.

[Trav627]

Seems like a pretty good deal for this time of year. Expedia rate is $329 and Hotwire, if this is the correct hotel, is $185.

[AaronJB]

Congratulations on your success!

Hopefully you are pleased with the deal - looks like a terrific discount for this property, especially considering the sky-high regular rate.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the site's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to start future purchases.

Enjoy your stay.
