D. Drumpf Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I am looking for a 4* or better in Rock center, Times Square theatre district or central Park South. I am not opposed to other central areas. I am trying to stay under $250 a night including tax. Is that realistic? Internet is a must. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

thereuare Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Welcome to BetterBidding! Closest thing i see right now to your criteria above would be this 4* Madison Square Garden hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $218/nite with: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess for this offer would be the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel which would be just over your budget at $270 all-in (plus another $10/nite resort fee that this property charges) Alternatively you could try bidding on PRICELINE for a lower price, but i'll add the following comments on the zones you mention above: Rock center - OK Times Square theatre district - OK central Park South - contains the Hudson Hotel which is well located but has notoriously small rooms, so make sure you're OK with this as an option before bidding this area You may also want to consider: Chelsea Empire State Building Madison Square Garden (assuming the Wyndham New York would be an acceptable outcome) 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.

D. Drumpf Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I got the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel, 4* for 10/19-10/23/16 for $225 a night plus $10 night hotel fee plus tax. Thanks for your help. Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Congratulations on your success! Hope you're happy with the results and this property will work well for your needs this trip. Not too far from your hotel i recommend this (mostly take-out, just a few tables and counter stools available) for breakfast, which has one of the better bagels in the city: Best Bagel and Coffee 225 W 35th St (between Seventh Ave and Eighth Ave) Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
