Hotwire Hotel: NYC Midtown Central 9/22-9/25

[Lulubelle]

Hi all,

I am working at President Clinton's annual meeting in NYC 9/22-9/25. Lodging is tough as you know. The meeting is at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers. The foundation rate is $450 plus a night! Hotwire has a 4* Midtown Central hotel, no smoking, restaurant, wifi, business center and fitness center for $382 a night. Is this definitely the Sheraton?

Also, Dream has $350 a night on Quikbook which is close by but the convenience of staying onsite is probably worth the $30 extra a night?

Please advise and thanks!

This would be a match for what has been previously reported with the Sheraton, and the tripadvisor rating matches, as well, so that would be my guess, as well. Personally, if you are working there and (I would imagine) have a tight schedule, it would probably be best to try and stay on-site.

What about Empire? That's not too far from Sheraton? Maybe 4-5 blocks? If I could get the $145 a night rate I don't care how small it is!! What are your thoughts based on BetterBidding Empire feedback?

Thanks! ET

The Empire Hotel is 10 blocks (and almost 2 Avenues) from the Sheraton... to saev $200/nite i would think the distance worthwhile, but where will you get the $145/nite rate... are you basing this on previous wins for dates other than your own?

Yes, can't get the $145 rate anymore...it's now $339 a night. I just noted the other gentleman booked in early 2009. Now inventory is tight. Thanks, ET
