I took a Priceline Express offer for $158/nt in the Grand Central area of Manhattan for 3 nights, 3 rooms and got The Renwick hotel on 40th St between Lexington and Park. It's a boutique hotel. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Room was spacious, for New York, and excellently appointed. King size bed was very comfortable. Only downside was one of the 2 elevators was out of service. While its in an old building the hotel was totally renovated about a year ago and has been maintained well.
