I just looked at the Century 21 website www.century21stores.com and they are offering package deals for hotels in lower manhattan. The Hilton is $239nt, and you get a $50 Century 21 gift card. There are other hotels listed so you might want to check availability. It also comes with a coupon book for other discounts at museums and restaurants downtown.

For those of you planning a trip to the city this might be a really good deal to check into.

Very good info, travelbuff, but the link is actually here

Well - I looked at it and I can;t get it to coneect to any hotels. When you click on rate or reservations or packages - it just takes you to the site of some wireless company. Either they have their wires crossed - or it's some sort of scam (that is - rates never available - or only in Feb).

I don't have a problem. Start here

http://www.c21stores.com/salesandnews.asp

then click on the Hilton card at the bottom which takes you
http://www.hiltonfamilynewyork.com/n...52944c09a8a#25

then select a hotel next to the Century 21 write up--ie here's what you get if you pick the Millenium Hilton

Then click on the right where it says "book now" one of the options like package rate from $239 code NX and you get a booking page where you can pick dates.

Sorry - I did all that - and whne I click on the hilton card at the bottom it takes me to

mobile.hiltonfamilynewyork.com/

I then get a list of the hHilton hotels. When I click on one thre's a description of th ehotel. But when I click on dates or reservations or package - it just takes me to a page for hilton wireless company.

Even when I click on your lst link I'm sent to the address above.

Perhaps it's different because I'm using Safari - but I can;t get to anything related to hotel deals.

It's good to know it's not a fake - but odd that it doesn;t work for everyone.

Did you try clicking any of the links I gave above after the first one?

I tried clicking on all of the links you listed. I can get to a list of Hilton Hotels. When I click on one of the hotels I get a description of the hotel.

That's where it goes wrong. No matter what I click from there (rates or reservations or dates) it sends me to the Hilton mobile website.

When I click on your link:

http://www.hiltonfamilynewyork.com/n...?prop=mh&id=25

it appears in the address line - then immediately changes into the following (without my touching a thing):

mobile.hiltonfamilynewyork.com/minyc.htm

Now - I've just tried it on Firefox and the same thing happens.

very weird. Don't know what to say.
