Katenet Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 You were such a wonderful help to me last time I took my daughter to NYC!!! Trying again for date 12/9-12/11 Hotwire has 5 star Central Park South $323 95% Recommended Amenities Boutique hotel Children's activities Fitness center Pet friendly Restaurant(s)Smoke-free rooms The rates are so high in December all of my other discounts won't work! Any help is greatly appreciated Link to comment
Katenet Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 okay I made a mistake its Times Square South Not Central Park south but I am flexible here is the full list of amenities: FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Internet access, Children's activities Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Unfortunately, the last few days of November and the first two weeks of December are one of the worst periods of the year with holiday festivities and shopping. I'm seeing: 5* Times Square South for $323.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> Guess would be the Knickerbocker. Would this property be of any interest? If not, let us know more about what you are looking for and we would be happy to research and offer other suggestions. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

thereuare Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 13 hours ago, Katenet said: I am flexible Are your dates flexible at all as you will likely see a drop in prices if you can delay this trip by one week... and a HUGE drop in prices if you can postpone it by 2 weeks. If your dates are locked, are you willing to pay $325/nite for a 5* hotel... as a 4* could be had for about $100 less per nite.

Katenet Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I am happy to consider a 4 star. I have a teenage daughter and we will be doing typical sightseeing. As long as we are safe and located well. Last year you helped us get the Times Square intercontinental Which was great! I'm open to ideas suggestions Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Plenty of options at the 4* level around the $200 area (confirm your dates on the landing page of any links provided below): 4.5* SoHo - Tribeca for $183 Pets Allowed Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess here would be the Nomo Soho if the 'soho thing' is appealing to you and your teenager 4* HOTWIRE Times Square North for $189.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> best geuss would be the Dream Midtown, which while rooms are reportedly small has an excellent location 4.5* Midtown East for $207.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet ==> likely The Westin New York Grand Central and while not my favorite hotel, it does generally get good reviews and is close to Grand Central if that works for your needs 5* HOTWIRE SoHo - Tribeca for $214.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet ==> 11 Howard my guess here which would be another Soho option for you Thoughts on any of the above working for your plans?

Katenet Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 WOW thank you for all of the help! My daughter wants a Times Square-ish location. Definitely not the Westin though. I think I found the one I want but now I am super confused. The hotel says it charges a resort fee --not sure what hotel that might be in NYC?? Here are the amenities: Complimentary Free Internet Amenities Boutique hotel Children's activities Fitness center Pet friendly Restaurant(s) Smoke-free rooms Same dates Times Square South 95% recommended 5 stars $359 per night Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm not currently seeing this property offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing the above on your own search? If so, are you searching HOTWIRE for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

Katenet Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I am sorry to be trouble but we have to change the dates because she has final exams The new dates are checking in 12/16 and checking out Monday 12/18 This is what I am seeing as possibilities: Times Square North 5* $243 (80% recommended) FULL AMENITIES: Free breakfast, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Business center, Internet access, Children's activities Midtown East 4.5* $212 Amenities Include: Internet access, Pet friendly, Fitness center, Business center and more...

AaronJB Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think that that is actually a positive in the sense that while rates are still expensive, the back half of the month is at least moderately better as traffic traditionally cools off a little bit. I'm seeing when searching for 2 adults: 5* Times Square North for $243.00 Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Business Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> Likely the Westhouse 4.5* Midtown East for $212.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be the Intercontinental Barclay 4.5* Midtown East for $151.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet ==> Guess would be the Westin Grand Central 4.5* Rockefeller Center for $246.00 Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Fitness Restaurant Business Golf Kitchenette Blind Accessible ==> Guess would be the San Carlos. Free breakfast is a rare added value in NYC, especially at the 4*+ level. The 5* in TS North that you mention - see above - has breakfast, but it also has a $49 resort fee. 4.5* Times Square South for $275.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Room Accessible ==> Guess would be the Muse 5* Times Square South for $277.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> Guess would be the Knickerbocker Please let us know if you have any questions at all before booking.

Katenet Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 This is awesome and so helpful. I am shocked by these resort fees--thank you for the education here. I will let you know which one we go with. We also have to make a quick trip to see in laws in October in NYC so I will need help again, but will do that in a separate post Link to comment
Katenet Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 My daughter is wanting the Hotel Giraffe which I don't think subscribes to any particular site We are still in the deciding negotiating process of course I will keep you and the board updated. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 The Giraffe unfortunately has never been reported to the board. I do see it for $350 on PRICELINE for these dates. Around the same price: HOTWIRE: 5* Union Square - Flatiron for $295.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> Guess would be the Marmara. 5* Chelsea for $322.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be the Eventi. 5* Central Park South for $274.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> Guess would be the Viceroy. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
