Restaurant, Fitness Center, Free Internet, Business Center

Rating:8+

Price: 225/night

 

Discount: this is where it goes weird: on the Exp list, it says "save 28%", but when I clicked in the booking list, it became "save 34%". This can mean two different hotels, right!?

Booking period: May 11-14

The Four Points Sheraton Midtown and Courtyard TS West have been seen with this amenity set previously, so either would be a possibility.

Thanks! And I got the reply from PL, they say the 34% is correct.

 

Also, I don't really like Four Points Sheraton Midtown because their cheapest room is kinda tiny, about 200ft

 

I will guess it is Courtyard, since the estimated resale price is closer to the saving rate

[AaronJB]

Small rooms are common in NYC - smaller than 200 sq ft (150ish) is not uncommon, even at the 3.5-4* level.

That's true. The room size of Courtyard Marriot TS West is around 280ft, but the interior looks pretty old from the pics

[AaronJB]

I believe that hotel opened a couple of years ago.

Right, the hotel was built in 2013 so it can not possibly be old. We must have a room larger than 200ft (ideally 250ft), and then we want it to be close to midtown or downtown, our budget is $250 pre-tax.

 

We are going to stay in May. Should we wait and see if there will be better offer? Now it seems impossible to find one below $250 that will also meet our needs. But meanwhile I also worry that since mid-May is close to graduation, the hotel prices may rise.

We must have a room larger than 200ft (ideally 250ft)...

How do you intend to guarantee this aspect with an opaque purchase from PRICELINE or HOTWIRE? (while you may be able to take a guess as to the hotel received, there is no assurance your guess will be correct and/or what type of room you're assigned)

I guess I can't guarantee, since average Manhattan hotels do not meet my requirement. Should I wait for better offer then?

[thereuare]

If room size is a need, rather than a want, then i would book a named hotel and room type that meets your requirements (pleas use our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com to do so).

If budget/saving money is ultimately more important than room size, then what is the room rate of the 3.5* PRICELINE EXPRESS offer (i may have missed it if it's listed above) and what is it that you would be looking for in a hotel that would classify it as 'better' in your view?
