Welcome to Betterbidding.

 

I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look.

 

If you see: Free Internet, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower

==> this would likely be the Wyndham New Yorker.

 

Given the fact that it's $117 + $32 per night = $149, you could think of it like you're essentially paying $150 and look to see if there's something that interests you at $150 without an added fee.

Yep. That's what I see. I think I'll make a reservation I can cancel, and continue shopping and/or bidding. 

 

Thanks for your help.

You can use our sister site RefundableRates.com to help find the best back-up reservation for your dates.

 

What more/different than the property above is it that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip?  What is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes)?

I have been using your sister site to check out some back-up reservations. Thanks.

 

I'd like to find something for less than $200/night. Since we're staying 6 nights, a little cheaper rate can make a difference.

 

I'm visiting folks who live in the Chelsea area, but I think my kid would get a kick out of being near Times Square. So I'm looking at those two areas, and Madison Square Garden and Hell's Kitchen, trying to stay near the west side. We'll be doing a lot of tourist stuff since it's her first trip to NYC.

 

I'd love to get in someplace like Yotel, which has a pretty reasonable rate, because the kid likes the modern look. Wish I could ensure a king bed or two twins, but that doesn't appear to be the forte of these book-it-now sites (or of NYC hotels, for that matter).

I actually mis-typed above (have since edited)... use our 'other' sister site RefundableRates.com for your back-up reservation.

 

HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in the Chelsea zone for $153/nite with:

Restaurant, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business,

==> best guess for this property would be the Wyndham Garden Hotel Manhattan Chelsea West, which assuming correct, would put you close enough to the West Side while also putting you very close to multiple subway stations for easy access to the rest of the city,  For this offer if you use the 'regular' HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com allows you to choose a King bedded room for the same price.

 

Does this work for your needs and budget?

I'm not seeing that Chelsea zone hotel at that price. But I do see a Madison Square Garden 3.5* at $162 with 

Free Internet Business center Fitness center Restaurant(s)

that allows me to get 2 beds. It also is 95 percent recommended. 

 

Since I'm now taking two kids, I'm inclined to jump on that. Any thoughts on what hotel that is?

 

[thereuare]

I'm not sure of the 3.5* MSG property above... the Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square would be a guess, but i'm really not certain.

[Bitstop]

Good guess. I went ahead and booked it because of the two beds. Apparently it's recently refurbished.

 

Used the extra $20 off from the BetterBidding HOTWIRE link too. Thanks for that, and for your help. 

 

Should I post that booking somewhere?

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see it was the hotel guessed and you're guaranteed of appropriate accommodations for your family.

 

In the future you can report your win to the board using the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the top right corner of the board as this will allow you to edit the topic title to reflect your win as well as create a post with the details of your purchase... but you can't see this button any longer since it can only be used once and we just clicked it to report your win (as you can see the topic title has changed and your win also now automatically appears in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins )

 

I will also add that you're near a very good bagel shop that you can go to for breakfast (seating is very limited, so if you can't grab one of the small tables or a window seat, i suggesting taking the brown bag to Times Square and sitting on the bleachers behind the TKTS stand... enjoying your bagels and the breakfast view you can't get anywhere else in the world):
