sunny_sc Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm hoping the board can help me ID the following few hotels that I'm considering:3* Midtown Central Hotel $191-Free Internet, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, High-Speed Internet Access -Is this the Holiday Inn Midtown? I tried looking up the retail price on Hotels.com for my dates, but it says that the hotel is fully booked.3* Chelsea - MSG hotel $216-Free Internet, Fitness Center, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access -Is this Hilton Garden Inn or Holiday Inn 6th Ave?3* Midtown - East $224-Free Internet, Business Center, Restaurant, Smoke Free Room, High-Speed Internet Access-Is this Best Western Hospitality House? 3.5* Midtown Central $237-Free Internet, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access -Doesn't seem to fit any of the ones on the list exactly.Based on this, which hotel do you think I should pick? It's my first time to NY. I also have an option of staying at the Cassa Residences & Hotel for $200/night, but it is in a room with a double bed and I'd prefer a bigger bed if at all possible! It seems like that one is listed as a 4* in the Hotwire hotel list.Would Priceline be a better option for me? I was hoping to stay under $225/night if at all possible. It seems like NYC is pricey this time of year.I clicked on the HOTWIRE links on the board to get my search started. Link to comment

thereuare Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Best guess for each:3* Midtown Central Hotel $191Holiday Inn Midtown 57th St3* Chelsea - MSG hotel $216Holiday Inn Sixth Avenue3* Midtown - East $224<no guess>3.5* Midtown Central $237Hotel Manhattan at Times SquarePRICELINE will like cost a little less than HOTWIRE, but you'll need to be able to accept any hotel in the zone and not have the ability to take a guess as to which property you may receive (nor before your purchase know any of the amenities offered)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and/or how it goes or if we can be of further help.

sunny_sc Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I tried making a PRICELINE booking but was unsuccessful. I started bidding at $120 and went all the way to $150 for 4* nearly everywhere in Manhattan. At this point, I'm going to use my backup hotel.Thanks for the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE assistance, but unfortunately those did not work out for this trip! Link to comment

sunny_sc Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 My alternate plans (referenced in my previous thread) did not work out, so I tried Priceline again. I got the 4* Marriott New York Downtown in Downtown - Financial District for $152/night+tax. Looks like an OK hotel, but I was hoping for something a little more uptown. I guess that's the luck of the draw with Priceline! Link to comment
