SAEMom25 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Heading to New York for vacation, 1 adult/1 adult-child.Would love two beds, if possible. Looking at 4.5* in Times Square area/Bryant Park/Central Park South. Would be great to pay around $180/nt. Any advice on bidding is welcome and whether that's realistic is welcome. Thx Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm seeing a few options within your budget, but so we can filter these down the best options for your needs, how would you rank the following: -two beds (and would 1bed + sofabed be equally acceptable or would you pay a premium for 2 'actual' beds) -location -budget -reviews Let us know how you'd rank the above and we will propose your best options.

SAEMom25 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 That's a tough one. Traveling with my 19 y.o. Two beds are ideal, but if I HAD to prioritize, I'd say. Location 2 beds budget reviews Actually, the reviews are somewhat of a moot point in that I assume a 4/5* property will deliver on service and quality. Hope that helps and thanks! Link to comment

S/he will always be your baby... but hotels are going to consider your 19yo an adult for occupancy purposes (although searching for 2adults vs. 1adult/1child is not going to really make much of a difference in terms of pricing) As you mention your dates are flexible, If prices and/or inventory was better for 3/9-3/13 would these dates be acceptable as well? Are you able to commit to a set of dates at this time OR are your dates 'flexible' because plans are still up in the air and you need to first have other things fall into place (time off from work, availability of your child, etc)?

SAEMom25 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 First, typo on the 4.5*. The two beds is because she's an adult (college student) so sleeping would just be more comfortable for both of us in separate beds. We could do it with a king bed, if necessary. Our plans are sort of flexible, but we can't leave until 3/10 in the evening. March 10-14 is really the best time, so that's now firmed up. Hope that helps. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Some options which seem to fit your criteria: 4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $156/nite with: Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> from the Priceline Express Hotel List this matches previous reports for the Tryp Times Square South and this rate is for a room with 2 Queen beds 4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $174/nite with: Pets Allowed Fitness Center Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Free Internet ==> no bed choice given, but this is likely the Crowne Plaza HY36 Midtown Manhattan which gets excellent reviews and is currently one of the top reviewed hotels in the NYC Do either of the above work for your needs this trip?
