Requesting advice.  We will be going to Broadway shows every day so want to be in easy walking distance. Also will be going to MOMA and the Met. Budget about $250, could go a little higher for 5*.  Is it reasonable to shop for deals now or better to wait until closer to our dates?  Thanks for any advice.

This is peak season in NYC and 5* hotels in NYC usually come at a steep premium (whether it's high season or not) vs. their 4* counterparts... at current rates i think a 5* hotel is going to run you closer to the $325/nite area. If you're willing to include the CPS zone then $250/nite may be possible (but keep in mind the Westhouse in this zone charges over $35/nite 'resort' fee in addition to your bid amount)... a 4.5* hotel in the MTC or TS zone closer to $260-$280... or a 4* significantly less at less than $200/nite.

As far as rates dropping between now and your stay, there is no way to know, it all depends how actual new reservations/cancellations come in relative to expected new cancellations/reservations, but as noted above keep in mind that this is peak season for NYC, and there is not as much vacancy as there was 5+ years ago when the economy (and hotel industry) was struggling.

Decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on this and am happy with the result.  Listed amenities were: Free internet, pet friendly, smoke free, fitness center, restaurant and business center.  The Algonquin was obvious as it was the only 4.5* with pet-friendly listed. 

 

Thanks for your advice.  It was very helpful.
