Hotwire Hotel: 3 nites NYC by Central Park 8/14-8/17

[scouty]

I've been trying for weeks to find a hotel by Central Park for my family of 4 on 8/14-17th.

All I ever see is the 2.5* which I assume is the Marrakech - anyone know anything about it?

Reviews seem to be inconsistent.

Should I hold out and see if anything else comes up? I see on the Hotwire Hotel list there are

a few other hotels by the park as well as the upper west and east side - but they never seem to come up.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

please post a conclusion to your Mission Bay Hotel thread and then "bump" this topic.

Posted conclusion, don't know how to "bump" sorry.

I can get a double at The Lucerne on all the other travel sites for about $210/nite, gets pretty

good reviews, close to park - maybe I should just take it?

Additional $10 off using the coupon code 10AUG on Expedia = $199 per night for the Lucerne.

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

Are you looking to stay in the Central Park area?? If so, do you have a specific reason to be in this area, as it's not really the most convenient for the typical visitor, and there seems to be some much better deals, for less, and more centrally located than this. (i'm assuming your family of 4 consists of 2adults/2children... or are your "kids" adult aged?)

Let us know the purpose of this visit and what your needs are for this trip and we'll advise accordingly.

Check the Hotel Salisbury on 57th and 7th. A block and a half from the park. Spacious rooms. Our family of 4 has stayed there twice and loved it.

No availability for the Salisbury for these dates, it would appear. Otherwise, I do agree that it's a very nice property in an excellent location.

A 3* hotel in Central Park area just popped up for $179 nite

(Traveling 8/14-8/17). Amenities: boutique hotel, complimentary

breakfast and internet.

Can't find a 3* on Hotwire/NYC hotel list - nor any place w/breakfast.

Could it be a mistake? Any one have any ideas what this could be?

Thanks!

YEs - we'd like to go to the Natural History Musuem and the park - so makes sense

to stay @ there.

I ended up with the Lucerne - they have specials thru their website, Queen Suite 2 nites get one at 50% off - so total

is $550. A bit more than I wanted to spend but since our trip got shortened by a nite - we decided it

was worth it - esp. for the suites if you have kids!

I'll try HOTWIRE for the rental car we'll be needing.....
