My plan is to stay in Manhattan for 2 days and another day I want to explore Brooklyn and Queens.

I'm assuming this is your first time in NYC?  If so, 3 days is not a lot of time to explore the city and i'm curious as to what you plan/expect to see/do in Brooklyn/Queens (each certainly has its merits, but with only 3 days i'm not so sure i would take the time outside of Manhattan unless there was something specific that you wanted to do)

 

You would need to save a significant amount to stay in Brooklyn vs. Manhattan (imo) and unfortunately if you can locate the 4 star $124/nite PRICELINE EXPRESS property you'll see that it is no longer available when clicked on... if you find otherwise let us know and we'll have another look.

 

My suggestion would be (confirm your dates on the landing page of any links provided below):

 

4* Grand Central Terminal - UN for $169
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

==> best guess would be the Hotel Boutique At Grand Central which gets good reviews, about a 15 minute walk to TImes Square, and close to Grand Central for easy subway access

 

4* Times Square - Theatre District for $176
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> likely the Night Hotel Times Square which is not as nice as the one above but would be extremely centrally located

 

4* Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park for $182
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> Club Quarters, Opposite Rockefeller Center would be my best guess here... reviews good but not as good as the Hotel Boutique At Grand Central, although this location would be a bit better

Let us know your thoughts/comments (or how it goes if you take one of the above) and we'll take it from there.

Thank you @thereuare you are the best I didn't expect the reply to be this quick!

 

Actually, I've been to New York during Christmas last year and stayed at ROW NYC near Time Square for 10 days.

I've visited most places in Manhattan.

Also my plan this year is visiting DC, Philly, then NYC.

 

Here's the link to the 4-Star Hotel $124

and if you click this link do you see a message at the top of the page:

Please note: Pricing and inventory changes often and the deal you selected is no longer available. However, we still have the following deals below.

... or do you see details of this specific hotel and a form at the bottom of the page to book it?

 

With 2 days in Manhattan and only 1 day in Brooklyn/Queens i would still suggest staying in Manhattan given the Brooklyn hotels are lower star rated and not enough of a discount vs. the 4* properties highlighted above, but if you still would like to consider them, my best guess/comments for each would be (again, confirm your dates dates on the landing page of any provided links):

 

3.5* PRICELINE EXPRESS Brooklyn Downtown

Bed Choice

Free Internet

Business Center

Fitness Center

Non Smoking

Pets Allowed

Restaurant

==> Hotel Indigo Brooklyn is my best guess for this one

 

3* Brooklyn Downtown for $144
Business Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> my guess would be the Hotel Le Bleu

The 4-Star Hotel $124 has disappeared

I've tried to book this hotel but fail. Do you know why?

4* Grand Central Terminal - UN for $169
Business Center
Restaurant
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

==> best guess would be the Hotel Boutique At Grand Central which gets good reviews, about a 15 minute walk to TImes Square, and close to Grand Central for easy subway access

Finally, I've managed to book the hotel.

4* Grand Central Terminal - UN for $169 

 

It is actually Hotel Boutique At Grand Central 

 

Thank you so much!!!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're pleased with the results... i think this is a much better option than staying in Brooklyn.

 

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.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Enjoy your stay.
