Hotwire Hotel: New York - Hotwire

[nutella83]

I'm going to New York on August 15 - 18 and 19-21 (Not sleeping in the city on the night of Aug. 18th).

I want the best value possible since I'm staying so many days!!

I'm wondering when would be a good time to bid. Now, or should I wait until one or two weeks before my arrival date?

I've seen that the option for 4* for Central Park is not always available, maybe these go by early.

Please help me out!

Here are my options:

Aug 15-18:

4-star hotel in Central Park Area, $179

Fitness Center

Business Center

Spa Services

4*Midtown Central, $153

Welcome to the site. :)

8/15-18.

4* MTC - This could be a number of different possibilities, as the Royalton, Flatotel, and Helmsley Park Lane have all been reported with this set of amenities.

4* CP - This would likely be the Empire.

8/19-21:

4* CP - Once again, Empire.

4* MTC - likely match for the Sheraton NY.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase.

Please post your win for 8/15-18 in this thread, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could post purchase details for 8/19-21 in a new thread. Thank you.

Thank you very much for helping me out!

I've used Hotwire on five trips in the last 2 years. I had all the intention of using it once again since I've had a good experience.

Since I'm shopping around for the best deal, I actually went to the hotel's web page and got a better deal than what Hotwire was offering. So obviously, I didn't bid through Hotwire.

I went to the Sheraton NY Hotel and Towers web page and the rooms are $20 dollars cheaper per night (with a promotion the had going on).

On top of these savings, I have the privilege of a guaranteed king size bed. If I had booked through Hotwire, I would have most likely gotten double beds. (I always call the hotel after bidding and ask for a king size bed but the hotels have never changed this for me. When I ask again at the check-in counter, thev'e always said they have none available)

I also have the benefit of accumulating rewards points for my stay which translates to more savings.

Also, because of the credit card I used, I have the possibility of a room upgrade (if available) and this room would include complimentary continental breakfast for two.

So in the end, it was a much better deal to book through the hotel directly.

This is not the case usually, but I guess it was the exception.

I'm sorry I couldn't enter bidding results! I most definitely will do so next time. I'd love to contribute with info. to enrich the database.

Thanks again!
