beldwell Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'd like some help with a couple of IDs. The first hotel that I see is 4* Union Square Flat Iron for $160 that has the following amenity set: Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Restaurant(s), Internet access. The part that is throwing me off is the bunk bed option that becomes available when going to the booking page. It only has 44 reviews and a 90% recommendation rate. Therefore, I'm wondering about this hotel 3.5* Union Square Flat Iron for $176 that has the following amenity set: Free breakfast, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Internet access. This hotel only has 9 reviews and a 90% recommendation rate. I'm not against other districts if you see an outstanding property for those dates that you'd suggest. I just don't want to be in Times Square or further north than Times Square. I'd like to stay at around $200. THANKS IN ADVANCE Link to comment

beldwell Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 My trip plans have firmed up, so I need to change areas. I'm now looking at Chelsea and Gramercy. It looks like most of the Gramercy hotels have a hefty extra fee!! I'm seeing the following: 4 star Gramercy Union Square for $179 with the following amenities - Free Internet, Fitness center, Business center, Internet access, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, Accessible parking but a $23 resort fee. 3.5 star Gramercy Union Square for $183 with the following amenities - Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Restaurant(s), Internet access but a $33 resort fee 3.5 star Chelsea for $185 with the following amenities - Free Internet, Fitness center, Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower but NO RESORT FEE! Can you help with this ID? See anything close to this area but in another zone that you'd recommend? I'm afraid to go with anything lower than an 80% rating. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 What exactly is it that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip and why the Chelsea zone? What is your maximum budget? On 1/26/2018 at 11:00 AM, thereuare said: Lastly, just slightly over your budget (but can bring it down to just $1-$2 over if using the BetterBidding discount in our Priceline Coupon page): 4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area for $212 ($201 with the board's coupon code) Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Crowne Plaza Hy36 Midtown Manhattan which is currently the #4 best reviewed hotel in NYC and has a 5.0 TA rating This property is now priced at $177/nite ($169 with our Priceline Coupon), has more stars than any of the hotels above, is still the #4 reviewed property in NYC, and if you think Chelsea is the area you need to be is just 3.5 blocks from the border between the MSG and Chelsea zones, so very convenient to that area as well (in addition to being more centrally located and easy access to subways than many hotels in the Chelsea zone). If not this property in what way does this fall short of your needs (so we can have a better idea of what hotel may work better for you) 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.

beldwell Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 After further review, you were totally right on with the Crowne Plaza. That deal and location couldn't be beat. We booked, and it was the Crowne Plaza Hy36 Midtown Manhattan. Once again, thank you so much!! Link to comment

thereuare Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Nicely done... an excellent decision, imo. A short walk from your hotel i recommend this place for breakfast one morning as they have one of the better renditions of a 'true' NYC bagel: Best Bagel and Coffee 225 W 35th St (on the north side of 35th St between Seventh and Eighth Avenues) Have a great trip and let us know if you have any NYC questions that we can help with!
