Hotwire Hotel: 3* NYC (ESB) Murray Hill East Suites

[curiousx]

I'm seeing a 4* Times Square hotel at $169 with the following icons - fitness, restaurant, business centre, internet. It's also flagged as best value. My guess is it's the Crowne Plaza which would suit us just fine. What do you think?

I see from your calendar that back in June someone got this for $119 (great price!). I was hopeful that the price would drop again but then saw your comment in another posting that November is a busy time for this area.

Any advice would be appreciated.

And of course I will use your HOTWIRE link when I bite the bullet.

Many thanks

The above is a match for the Crowne Plaza so that would be my best guess.

If you are flexible, note that somebody just received this a few weeks ago via PRICELINE for nearly identical dates at $122/nite: Priceline Crowne Plaza Times Square (i'm assuming they won the day posted, but still no guarantees you'll receive the same hotel and/or same price)

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

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

apologies for not closing off this thread previously. We ended up booking a place in Murray Hill through the HOTWIRE links here. I thought I had posted all the information as we got a terrific deal. I'll double check.

Well, I guess I didn't post the final results of this one after all. I got really ill after that last trip and am only just now travelling again...guess with all the hospital s___ going on, I forgot my manners and did not end this thread the right way.

Anyway, we got the 3* Murray Hill East Suites from Nov 1- Nov 4 2009 at $195 a night. Amenities were suite, fitness, kitchenette, laundry. We had an enormous suite at the back of the hotel - quiet and really comfortable. Initially they tried to put us in a smaller noisier suite at the front of the hotel which we refused as it was not made up. The hotel clerk also made a couple of remarks indicating they usually tried to give inferior rooms to people who used Hotwire so watch for this.

Thanks for the follow-up and closing this thread.

Sorry to hear you took ill, but hopefully you're feeling better and all is well now.

Thank you for sharing your results and using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase.
