AaronJB Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Welcome to Betterbidding. :) The 5* has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'd guess the Westhouse. Keep in mind this property charges $30 a night resort fee. 4* Has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. 3.5* I'd guess this may be a new amenity set for the Club Quarters Midtown. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment

AaronJB Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just to try and focus the search and so that we can potentially offer suggestions that we see, are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel? Unfortunately, the 4* MTC has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. Glad you are finding Betterbidding helpful! :) What zone is the 3* in above? Also please confirm the star rating for the MTE and second MTC properties in the post above. Link to comment

Is this the Holiday Inn do you think? $146 - 3 * Star Smoke Free Rooms Business Center Internet access Kitchenette Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Roll-in showerMy guess for this one would be the Salisbury Hotel. All of the hotels have a wide range of star ratings (and budgets)... if you let us know your maximum budget for this stay (per nite before fees/taxes) we can probably help point out the best options for your stay. Along these lines, i will point out that what looks like the TRYP Times Square South is available for $193/nite (with an excellent 4.5/5.0 TA rating), should this be of any interest and work for your needs. Let us know your thoughts and more information about this stay and we'll advise accordingly. Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

mwoodman Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Wow!! I am so blown away by how helpful this Website is!! We are a young newly engaged couple, spending our first Christmas together away from our families! We are looking to go to NY,NY and have a memorable Christmas vacation! We are there for 5 nights and hoping to spend alot of our evenings walking around and taking in the sights! Hence why location is so important!! The Tryp hotel you suggested seems like it might be a far walk from some of the "main" attractions, ive been looking at the Mid Central area because it includes the Rockfellar Centre. Some of the things we could like to do while in NY,- Central Park, Fao Schwartz, Macyws Santaland, Barneys on Madison Ave, Bryant Park Ice Skating, Rockefellar Christmas Tree, Basically the less taxis and the more walking we can do the better! :) Thank you SO MUCH for your help! This site is AWESOME! :) We are deffinitely looking for your suggestions as we are not familiar with the area at all! & are just looking for the best CHRISTMAS in NY experience! Ideally we would like to spend $200 per night, but are willing to spend up to $300 to pay more for a hotel that is ideal to stay in at Christmas time in NY. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 The Salisbury has been a popular bargain hotel for years and years (I stayed there as a kid and other family members have stayed there over the years.) It's definitely not going to have as many amenities as another, modern 3*, but it is also often cheaper. It's in a great location and continues to get solid reviews. I'm seeing what appears to be the Doubletree Met for $185. I do think the Tryp would be a good location and that property does get outstanding reviews.

thereuare Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Of the places you mentioned: CPS, FAO Schwarts, Barney's, Tree are all in one location and you can do all of these in one stop (so it's not like your hotel needs to be next to each since you're going to each on different days) Macy's would be very close to the Tryp TS South... Bryant Park not a bad walk at under 15 minutes (although it is winter and will likely be cold unless you get an unseasonably mild week) HOWEVER, what about Chinatown, Little Italy, Ground Zero, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Soho, etc... if you intend to stop at any of these places and you choose to only stay near Rock Center then you'll be further from these locations. The thing to realize about NYC is that no one place is near everything and the best, quickest, and cheapest way to get around is via the Subway. Since it will be cold, the advantage of the Tryp is that it's only two blocks from Penn Station which means you can get underground (out of the cold) fast and from there you have a plethora of subway lines to choose from which will get you close to almost anywhere in the city you want to be. If you still want to stay near Rockefeller Center what looks to be the Hyatt 48 Lex is on PRICELINE EXPRESS for $269/nite which also gets great reviews... but if budget is a factor at all the Tryp should work out well for the reasons outlined above and even just one nite of the $70/nite savings will pay an unlimited ride metrocard for both of you for your entire trip... the savings for the other 4 nites you can figure out something fun to do with in the city. ;) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

mwoodman Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I am going to take your advice & book the Tryp!!! What link do I need to follow? I have found one in Madison Square Garden for 191$? are you able to give me the exact details to book the hotel for $193 that you mentioned? :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 If you click the HOTWIRE offer, then on the next page click the BOOK NOW button, then on the next page in the TRIP SUMMARY box on the right side of the page, click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities and if you see the following: Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ... then best guess for this one is the TRYP Times Square South. (your price may differ slightly by a few dollars) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

mwoodman Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 We are officially booked at TRYP! You were right on the money with those amenities! However when I went to purchase it was coming up as $212. I took a chance and assumed $212 was still the TRYP... and luckily it was!! & although it was $30 more/night, based on your recommendation I went ahead and booked it anyways. None the less! We are at the TRYP thanks to your awesome detective skills! thanks, M Link to comment
