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!

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?

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.

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)
