Priceline Hotel: 4.5* New York (Midtown East) Intercontinental New York Barclay - Newly Renovated

[coondogg97]

5* in Times Square this weekend (4/7-4/9). Hotwire express has this hotel listed at $214 a night. 

 

Amenities: FULL AMENITIES: Free breakfast, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Business center, Internet access, Children's activities

 

There is also a 5* in Central Park South for $254 a night. 

 

Amenities: FULL AMENITIES: Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Children's activities

 

Also, I know there is a bigger difference between a 4* and a 4.5* than a 3.5* to 4*. Is there as big of a difference going from a 4.5* to a 5*?

 

Any help is appreciated!

I'm assuming the Times Square property is the following Times Square North property:

 

5* HOTWIRE Times Square North for $213.00
Complimentary Breakfast
Free Internet
Pet Friendly
Smoke Free
Fitness
Business
Hi-Speed Internet
Childrens Activities
==> best guess for this offer would be the Westhouse New York

 

5* HOTWIRE Central Park South for $252.00
Pet Friendly
Smoke Free
Fitness
Restaurant
Business
Hi-Speed Internet
Childrens Activities
==> likely the Viceroy Central Park New York

 

There can indeed be a significant different between 4.5* and 5* properties, but it really gets to be property dependent.

 

Not sure your needs for this trip, but with both properties above charging resort fees i think there are likely better values to be had at hotels that are still quite nice.
