Howdy, I need your help, usually I'm one of those folks on here who's pretty independent and who can figure out hotel identities and strategies in my sleep. And I always book through your links. But I'm stumped, looking at Saturday January 25 thru Saturday February 1 as my visit dates for New York City. I'm on my cell phone right now so a bit limited as far as cut and paste the amenities so bear with me. Hotel #1 Empire State Building Area hotel zone, $108 3.5 stars w " still gathering reviews " with 4.5 TripAdvisor ratings Amenities, free internet, business center, laundry, Internet, accessible def, accessible path travel, handicap parking .. Thought maybe Radisson but it is 4.0 on TripAdvisor ...Thoughts? Hotel #2 Times Square Theatre District area hotel, $101-107 3.5 Stars with 80 percent recommended and 4.0 TripAdvisor Amenities, free internet holes, fitness center, Business Center, indoor pool, laundry, spa, accessible path ..my guess is Room Mate Grace Hotel, based on its pool, spa, and also 4.0 rating .. Any other guesses or hotels in that area that would have swimming pools? Haven't seen this hotel successful for building or on opaque Hotwire or Priceline flights. Hotel #3 Empire State Building Area hotel zone 2.5 stars, 100 percent recommended, no TripAdvisor ratings . Amenities, free breakfast, free internet, restaurant, Internet ... My guess is possibly Grand Union ( but hotels.com rates it as three stars) could be Bedford which I want to avoid. Nothing in any of my cross search is really validates what this could be, I may just get the hotel for ast 2 nights rather than 7 but I would feel better with an idea of what it is ...any thoughts? Also in terms of background, I know this is Super Bowl week and plays into availability. I do have a backup reservation for 6 nights that can be cancelled (can cut my stay short to 6 nights instead of 7), and have some ideas about splitting the stay (5 + 2 but would prefer not to). I know I can wait to bed and have that luxury, not sure regarding New York City what is the better strategy. Thank you to each and every person who may respond to this, I really appreciate any insight or direction or suggestions, NYC is not in my wheelhouse unlike most other big cities for opaque hotels
