Where???? There is no Amerisuites in New York City nor is there a Country Inn %26amp; Suites in NYC. Sounds like some place in NJ.

In case you don%26#39;t know, there%26#39;s a page at betterbidding.com that lists all the Hotwire hotels and helps you identify them based on amenity icons (like business center etc.) If you are just 2 people, I wonder why you%26#39;d use Hotwire instead of bidding on Priceline which is always cheaper. If you%26#39;re more than 2, I understand.

If you can%26#39;t find reviews of hotels, then something is wrong b/c most all are listed on tripadvisor. ;)

I%26#39;ve just checked on betterbidding and there%26#39;s an Amerisuites in Secaucus, NJ. But if you%26#39;re coming to visit NYC, you really don%26#39;t want to stay in Secaucus. I don%26#39;t know where the Country Inn is. There are 2 Holiday Inn Expresses in Manhattan, both get good reviews but I don%26#39;t think either are 2/5 star hotels. They%26#39;re nicer.

WHY are you picking 2.5 stars? Why not tell us your budget and your dates and # in your party so we can help. What you%26#39;re doing doesn%26#39;t sound like the best option to me.

me and my daughter are going in time sq area spend about 150 for hotel.

First, looking on quikbook.com, the Shelburne Murray Hill, a VERY nice hotel (with suites for rooms with kitchens) is $314 plus tax for 2 nights, Fri/Sat night Feb 23/24. While it%26#39;s not right in Times Square, it%26#39;s very central (near Grand Central Station). If you book that%26#39;s, it%26#39;s cancellable.

Your other option is to try bidding on Priceline. Assuming you%26#39;re willing to share a bed, bid on Priceline ONLY 4* hotels in midtown WEST (no other area).

Here%26#39;s a way to do it if you don%26#39;t know how (I%26#39;d prefer you read betterbidding.com or biddingfortravel.com for help but if you can%26#39;t)

%26gt;Bid 4* midtown west for $112/night if no luck

%26gt;add upper west side (there are no 4* hotels there-this is what is known as a free re-bid) and bid $116 if still no

%26gt;add upper east side (again no 4*) and bid $127 if still no luck, wait 24 hrs. and start bidding again. Start at $116 and work up to whatever price you%26#39;re comfortable with. Remember all these prices do NOT include tax which is another 15% so if you want to pay $150/night total, you really want a room for $130/night--not easy to do in Times Square in a decent place unless you use Priceline.
