toronto_discount Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Posted May 27, 2011 I followed the strategy and got $170 for the Sheraton New York Hotel And Towers.Tripadvisors don't have the greatest reviews. Will update folks when I return. Supposedly the place is pretty nice after it's 2011 renovations (crossing fingers! wish me luck)
thereuare Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Congratulations on your success!While not the best hotel in NYC, the reviews have improved a lot since the recent renovations. As well, the location is good with a few subway lines nearby and for some late nite eats, you're right near the famous cart :) (8pm-4am)Thank you for sharing your win with the board.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
