I'd give it a 3/5. Staff was very friendly. We checked out 45 mins late with no penalties. They provided toothbrush/toothpaste on request. Location is great - right next to the Gershwin/Wicked theater and Times Square. However facilities are a bit old. Bed was clean but a bit squeaky. TV is a ~40" but only standard def and channel selection was finnicky. Cold water faucet didn't work right. Tub had cracks on the bottom. The hallways could also use some paint and TLC. However they were renovating the lobby when I was there so my guess is these problems will be solved with time. Also, no free WiFi in-room. I didn't check out their other amenities. I also saw some (free?) breakfast stuff in the lobby but didn't try it. For this price though, would probably stay again.
Got $88/night at The Manhattan at Times Square Hotel using "Select 3* ESB, MSG, TS" Some reviewers noted that the rooms were a bit old, but really can't beat that price. Will try to update after my stay. Thanks!
Looking for 3* (and above) for 1/11-1/13 near Herald Square in Manhattan, i.e. the areas below: Empire State Madison Square Garden Chelsea Times Square (Maybe Midtown Central/East) Any idea of what I should start my bids at to get the lowest price and/or what bidding strategy I should use? I'm getting ~$125/night pre-tax on Hotels.com for a 3* (e.g. Holiday Inn Midtown 31st street). HOTWIRE also shows ~$92 for Times Square, ~$96 for Empire State. I'd like to try and get below these. Thanks
