Priceline Hotel: 4.5* New York (Midtown East) Intercontinental New York Barclay - Newly Renovated

Looking for a hotel around Madison Square Garden in mid-April, but my concern is that we will only get a room with one bed through PL. We will be 2 adults and 2 teens, so we definitely need two beds. Any suggestions on how to use PL successfully for our needs? Or are we better off booking directly with a hotel? Prices/night are quite high, so booking 2 rooms (even through PL) would be rough. We're looking for 3.0/3.5+ stars hotel.

In NYC, you're likely going to get 1 bed via PRICELINE bidding. Some PRICELINE EXPRESS listings do offer bed choice, but a room with two beds can be difficult and is often considerably more expensive when available. HOTWIRE offers bed choice less frequently, but if you search for quad occupancy, you should get some form of bedding for the whole party (that may mean 2 beds or 1 + rollaway or 1 + sofabed.)

 

What would be your desired budget per night for this stay and what are the dates of travel? Additionally, please confirm the zones of interest.

Unfortunately, I'm really not seeing anything in those areas within budget - options are slightly over $300 (there is one for $296, but with a $32 resort fee.)

 

On HOTWIRE when searching for 2a/2c, I'm seeing not far away:

 

4* Times Square North for $258.00
Pet Friendly
Smoke Free
Fitness
Restaurant
Business
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Spa
Childrens Activities
==>  The Sheraton TS has been seen with this amenity set previously, so that would be my guess. For about $50 less than comparable options in MSG/Chelsea, would this be of any interest?

 

If not, let us know and we can do further research to look for other options.

Zones of interest would be either Chelsea or Madison Square Garden/Convention Center.

Why these zones?

 

Would 2 double beds be acceptable?

Congrats on scoring Billy Joel tix!

 

So if you have 10-25 things on your 'to do' list while in NYC, why choose your hotel focused on the location of this one event?

 

I'm not saying that you shouldn't get a hotel near MSG, nor that you should stay in an inconvenient location, but given that rates are high and your budget is tight, if you could save $25/nite (that's $50) but need take a $10-$15 taxi ride back to your hotel at the end of the nite, wouldn't you be way ahead of the game? (especially if your 'new' hotel location has you close to other things you are hoping to do while in the city)

For example, this PRICELINE EXPRESS offer:

4.5* Midtown East for $222
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> best guess would be the InterContinental NEW YORK BARCLAY

 

This offer gives a Bed Choice of '2 Double Beds' for this price, so although your reservation is technically for double occupancy, i don't know of anyone that has yet had an issue when showing up with triple/quad occupancy when the room is designed to accommodate that number of people.  This hotel has been getting excellent reviews since the completion of their recent renovation, and it's a short walk to the Lexington Ave/53rd St station where you could take the E train directly to MSG (or the M train that would leave you a one avenue walk to MSG)... you could do this same commute in reverse back to your hotel depending how late the show gets out and if you want to take the subway after 11pm or so)

 

Your thoughts?

Congrats on your success.

 

Really terrific deal for this property, which was given a very significant renovation (which cost $180m and the hotel was closed for a year) not that long ago. Glad you are pleased with the win and are excited about your stay.

 

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

 

Enjoy your stay.

As i often mention to anyone staying in this area, you're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.

 

Have a great time in NYC and enjoy the Piano Man.
