highnal Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi there, I've been lurking here for a bit but now need some advice of my own! I'm looking for a 4* (or higher) hotel in Manhattan - Times Square area preferable as I don't know that much about NYC areas but very open to suggestions if you think we can get better value. Only criteria would be that it has to be safe, within 5/10 mins from a subway, walking distance to Times Square and the hotels have good reviews. 2 nights (13th-15th August 2018) for 2 adults. Our budget is about $225/night plus tax. There's a couple of Priceline Express Deals that have caught our eye: 1) 4.5* Times Square - $217/night Airport Shuttle Business Center Fitness Center Non Smoking Restaurant 2) 4* Times Square - $175/night Business Center Fitness Center Non Smoking Restaurant $21.78 mandatory fee collected at hotel Any idea which hotels these could be? Would we have much luck getting bargains by bidding (based on our location/budget) Thanks in advance! Link to comment

HOTWIRE: 5* HOTWIRE Times Square for $230.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess would be the Intercontinental Times Square, which has been reported with this amenity set previously. 5* HOTWIRE Times Square for $217.00 Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> Best guess would be the Michelangelo Let us know what you decide or if we can be of any further assistance.

highnal Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks guys for your speedy responses. Will check out your suggestions. Would you recommend going via the bidding option? Would we save much money? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Bidding on PRICELINE would be slightly cheaper but the you're subject to any hotel in the zone and not able to have an educated guess as to the property (and therefore not have an educated guess as to how far a walk it is from Times Square, the subway, and/or the hotel's reviews) I would start with the hotels above... are any of them of interest? If you were then to try to bid for that hotel and received something different, would it be worth a $5-$10 savings per nite?

highnal Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thanks for your help so far guys. I got busy last week so didn't end up booking anything yet. I've had a quick scan of Hotwire and found the following: 4-star Hotel in Times Square area Business centerChildren's activitiesFitness centerInternet accessPet friendlyRestaurant(s)Self-service laundrySmoke-free roomsSpa services Guaranteed hotel chain $181/night Apparently the last person booked the Hilton Times Square. What do you think? If so it seems like a pretty good deal to me. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 For this hotel: 4* HOTWIRE Times Square for $183.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Spa Childrens Activities ==> from the Hotwire Hotel List this is an exact match for previous reports of the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel and this would be my best guess for this one Given the above has a $25/nite resort fee, i would sooner choose the following which comes to just about the same price: 4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $217/nite with: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Crowne Plaza HY36 Midtown Manhattan would be my best guess for this one... newer hotel with great reviews and a very convenient location (top #12 hotel in NYC) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
