Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC hotel

[Apstribling]

Hi! We are headed to New York 9/12-9/15. I am having a horrible time trying to find a reasonable rate. We want to stay Grand Central/Times Sq/Midtown. I use Priceline or Hotwire every time I go up but everything is really high right now. Is something going on up there then? 

 

The cheapest I found was around $245, but most are in the $300+.  Should I wait it out and keep trying or bite the bullet and do the higher rate? Usually when I go it's easy to get a 4* around $175.

I think you may be running into Fashion Week which always draws a big crowd into NYC... are your dates flexible at all?

 

If not, what is the best option you're currently able to find that meets your criteria (or that you're willing to lower your star rating and/or increase your budget)

I would like to stay at 250 or below. I prefer to stay 4* in New York, just because I've been burned by some 3* in the past up there. I knew it had to be something going on up there- the rates have been crazy!

Using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool there is a 4* in the Theater District - Midtown West zone for $211/nite.  Clicking the GREEN 'See All Amenities' link next to this offer shows the following amenity set (as well as a 4.5/5.0 TA rating):

Free Internet

Boutique

Smoke Free

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Wheelchair Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

==> this matches previous reports for the Yotel Times Square so that would be my best guess for this one

 

Does this work for your needs and budget?
