Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* New York City (Madison Square Garden - Hell's Kitchen) Staybridge Suites Times Square - New York City

[cct]

I want to book a ESB area hotel for 2 adults and 2 children.

 

Hotwire has the following offers:

 

1. 4* $160

Pet friendly

Smoke-free rooms

 Fitness center

Business center

Self-service laundry

Internet access

 

FULL AMENITIES: Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access

 

 

2, 4* $178

Pet friendly

  Smoke-free rooms

  Fitness center

  Restaurant(s)

Business center

  Self-service laundry

  Internet access

 

The 2nd property is not showing up on the Bidding.Helper Full View.

 

Any ideas which I should pick?  My kids are 12 ans 16.  From my research, I think the Empire State Building area would be a great location.  I would like to stay under $200 per night.

 

Thanks!

For the first property, my guess would be a new amenity set for the Affinia Dumont or the Affinia Shelburne. Should it prove to be some other property, you do have a 'safety net' of the 4.5/5.0 TA rating which should ensure that it's a pleasant stay.

I'm not seeing the other 4* hotel offered (i do see a 2nd 4* hotel offered in the ESB zone but it's priced at over $400/nite)

I also don't see any other 4* hotels offered within your $200 budget (there are a two others but each of these have resort fees, which unfortunately are started to be prevalent in NYC, it puts them over your budget)

I may not be doing this right by switching areas in this thread.  Cold this be the Hilton Times Square?  

The free internet is appealing.  I need room for 2 adults/2 kids.

This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. A guess would be the Millennium Broadway or Crowne Plaza TS with a very slightly different amenity set than they've been previously seen with.

That said, this is one of the very few times I've ever seen a less expensive listing appear when searching for 2a/2c in NYC, a city where more than double occupancy often goes for a definite premium. When I search for 2 adults in TS the cheapest 4* is $231.

For the 4* TS property i'll cast my guess for the Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan.

Any thoughts on the identity of this hotel?  Is it possibly the Staybridge Suites?

 

The total for the 3 nights is $743 or $192 per night.  The hotel I asked about above (4* in Times Square has a resort fee so the 3 nights cost $855).

There is also a 3* In Madison Garden for $164 ($629 total) with these amenities:

Free breakfast

Which seems like the best bet for a family trip?

I'm not currently seeing the 3.5* hotel you reference when searching for your dates (and including 2adults/2children), but if you're still seeing this one, i'd agree with your guess of the Staybridge Suites being a good possibility.

For the 3* my guess would be the Holiday Inn Express New York - Manhattan West Side... but this property is a bit too far west in the zone and not the most convenient choice, imo.

If i were traveling by myself i would likely take the ESB property that i guessed was one of the Affnia property as chain-wide they 'do it right' and have a great reputation... for a family trip i would likely take the 3.5* MSG property as it offers free breakfast (not that big of a deal in NYC, imo, as a cheap breakfast can be had throughout the city) and if our guess is correct the added room of the suite would be welcomed for a family of 4, as well as the central location; and should this prove to be some other property, you have the 'safety net' of the 4.5/5.0 TA rating which should ensure a good stay and a positive experience.

The 3.5* was indeed the Staybridge Suites - Times Square Manhattan.  Thanks for your help.
