jberge Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looking for a 4*+ hotel in any area of Manhattan for $200/night if possible. I will be driving, so "cheap" parking at the hotel / an area that is not a nightmare to drive around would be appreciated. Any suggestions? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Welcome to Betterbidding. Unfortunately, cheap parking is really not available at NYC, with a couple of exceptions (Travel Inn and the Skyline, a couple of 2.5-3*'s in the Hell's Kitchen area.) Most hotels do charge around $50-60 and higher per night for parking. Additionally, this night is unfortunately quite busy - I think for a 4*+ you're looking at at least more towards the $225-250 range. Would that be acceptable, given that parking will also be expensive? Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
jberge Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks! It is unfortunate that it is a busy night, I cannot change the date. I can be okay with $50-60 for parking if I can get the room for around $225. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 From which direction are you coming from and do you have a specific part of the city your plans will take you for this nite?

jberge Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I am coming from Providence, RI and my plans are in the Gramercy Park/ Flatiron area but I do not mind taking the subway or walking a bit. 2 guests. Thanks!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I would look into taking the train from either Westchester or some place north of the city... leave your car there and not deal with the hassle, or expensive, of parking in the city. If you do decide to drive you can take the West Side Highway or the FDR Drive depending upon which side of Manhattan you ultimately end up on. As far as zones i think any of the following should be fine: Chelsea, ESB, MSG, MTW, TS, Union Square, LES (although TS and MTW could be difficult to drive if that is a real concern for you) These zones may be fine depending upon your needs: Downtown - not the most convenient, but do-able if the price is right, and given rates are high for these dates, a zone you may want to consider if price becomes more a factor than convenience (and the money saved can be used for a taxi to your event) MTE - most 4* hotels here are well located, but a few can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway (again, if the hotel is cheap enough a taxi ride solves this issue) Soho - not hte most convenient to your venue but taxi would be fairly inexpensive Let us know your thoughts in regards to which zones you'd like to bid, and confirm your maximum bid, and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

jberge Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thank you for the suggestion on parking, I may end up doing that! These look like the best areas for me: Downtown, MTE, Soho, Chelsea, ESB, MSG, LES, MTW, Union Square. Max bid of $225. Link to comment
