newyork Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Hi,I am going to New York from the 17-25 of September.I have found a deal on Hotwire from the 17-21It has-Non Smoking RoomsFitness CenterRestaurantBusiness Center High Speed Internet AcessThe price is $233Could anyone help me identify the hotel? or any other HOTWIRE deal suggestions. No luck with PRICELINE so far.
AaronJB Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Welcome to the site.The HOTWIRE listing in question is likely the Sheraton NY & Towers.The Stay Hotel is $248.75 on Orbitz for 9/17-21, plus the REVIEW10 coupon code gets 10% off. Additionally, Orbitz also has this deal:**Orbitz SPECIAL OFFER**Through 9/7, book any hotel in NYC and receive a FREE $50 gift certificate from Restaurant.com (Select a hotel and add FREE offer on the add Attractions & Services page). However, 9/21-25 are certainly going to be more difficult. What is your budget per night?Please use the site's HOTWIRE or Orbitz.com links.
newyork Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for the reply. :)My budget is around $250 per night but everything seems to be very expensive.
thereuare Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?I believe you can get the well reviewed Hotel Mela for the last 3 nites of your stay for ~$200/nite... then stay someplace else for the first nite of your stay (either a different 4* hotel, a lower rated hotel to save a few extra dollars, or if you arrive late someplace near the aiprort (which may or may not be worthwhile depending upon which airport, assuming your flying into town))Let us know your thoughts and we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

newyork Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 That sounds good. If I put 3 star Midtown $200 into Priceline should I get Hotel Mela?
thereuare Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 No... what i believe to be the Hotel Mela is offered on HOTWIRE.If you search HOTWIRE (please use our link) for 9/18-9/21 a 4* hotel in the Times Square zone appears for $200/nite (your price may differ by a few dollars) with: Boutique, Fitness, Restaurant, Hi-Speed Internet icons and a TA rating of 4.0/5.0... this matches previous reports for the Hotel Mela so that would be our best guess for this one.This is not available when searching 9/17-9/21 so you'll need to find alternate accomodations for the first nite of your stay. (and i'm not sure if you have other plans for 9/21-9/25)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

newyork Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 I just tried to book the Mela but I can't get it becuause it only allows for 2 people max and I am one adult two children. I have been trying to split it and find a hotel from 21-24 4* on Hotwire. I have noticed the 17-22 is much cheapier. Any reason why? Maybe because the further away the more expensive?
thereuare Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Rates are date specific based upon demand for those actual dates. In NYC, weekends are a little less busy than midweek, which would be an easy explanation for the difference in rates you're seeing, although there could be other factors as well (ie- conventions, events, etc)Exactly what are the dates of your complete stay? Do you have anything booked for any part of this stay? How old are your children?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

newyork Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Posted September 6, 2009 My exact New York dates are check in 17/9 to checkout the 26/9. The kids are 17 and 15. Because of the variations in prices on certain dates we were thinking of:4* on Hotwire from 17-20 Stay at a friends house 20-24Stay at a 5* hotel for either one or two nights.So far we haven't booked anything.
newyork Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Posted September 6, 2009 I just got the Sheraton New York and Towers for $225 a night from the 17th/9 to 20/9! The amenities are Smoke Free Rooms, Business Center, Fitness Center. High-speed internet access and Restaurant.Thanks for all the help :) Now I'm just looking for a 5*.
