Priceline Hotel: 4.5* New York (Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park) Omni Berkshire Place

[WGretzky]

Hello, 

 

I would like assistance with a booking for NYC, September 27 - 30.  2 adults.  prefer 2 beds, but can live with 1.  Looking to stay close to 5th ave or even Chelsea / meatpacking district. 

 

Would like to stay around $200 - $230 per night.  Can stretch to $250 if something is really a good value / deal.

 

For us, priority is over 90% recommended on tripadvisor plus 90% recommended positive hotwire reviews.  I am also looking at pricline express / bid deals so should I post a similar thread there?

 

thanks for the help!!

Done and done..thanks

How about:

4.5* Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $205/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Free Internet available
Free Internet
Fitness Center
==> best guess would be the Omni Berkshire

 

4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $217/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Free Internet available
Free Internet
Fitness Center
==> Crowne Plaza HY36 Midtown Manhattan... fairly new hotel with great reviews and centrally located; i think this one hits all of your touch points above

 

Either of these works for your needs?

Thanks just looking up those options. Is there anything similar available as a Priceline express at the moment? 

 

Also is there a bed choice available with these options? Thx

[thereuare]

The above are from PRICELINE EXPRESS... if you click the links provided above you'll see any bed type options that are offered.

 

I also checked HOTWIRE but nothing there met your criteria; there was a Wall St-Downtown hotel for about $135/nite (research indicated it was the Club Quarters Hotel or the World Center Hotel, i forget which, but they are basically sister properties in the same hotel) which i thought was interesting for the price, but i didn't pursue it any further since it doesn't meet most of your criteria (i only found it interesting because of the price).

 

There is also the Westin Times Square for about the same price as the Crowne Plaza HY36, but the Crowne Plaza is a much better option in multiple respects (location, reviews, newer hotel, etc).

 

Since i believe the Crowne Plaza meets each of the criteria you wanted, how about a different approach.... why not the Crowne Plaza?  What is 'missing' from this hotel that you are looking for that has you looking further?

[WGretzky]

Thanks.  I agree the crowne plaza meets my criteria.  Based on your experience and knowledge, do you feel like this is a fair price for this resort? Do you feel that prices will drop any further or this is a good Time to book.  

[thereuare]

Unfortunately there is no way to know if rates will drop or move even higher (and a third option, often not considered, is that maybe this hotel disappears entirely!)

 

Your trip is during the start of peak season in NYC so the price is certainly reasonable (and i'd go as far to say the price is 'pretty good'), but based upon the criteria you laid out above and your other comments in this thread, i'm guessing that while price is important, it's even more important that it's a nice hotel... i think the bigger risk would be this property disappearing and nothing else that is as well reviewed being offered for a similar price.

 

Given it meets every criteria you have i would lean towards booking sooner rather than later.  Could the price go down $10-$20/nite, sure... but i could also see it increasing by $50-$60/nite (and i would think it very unlikely dropping $50-$60/nite)

If you click the link in the box above (or HERE) it will take you to the deal if still available... it is still available but now down to $206/nite.

 

... and i also think this one is worth a look at well:

5* Chelsea Area (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $233/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Free Internet available
Free Internet
Fitness Center
==> Kmpton Hotel Eventi is my best guess for this one

Perfect thanks and I assume same for Omni Berkshire? 

[thereuare]

For PRICELINE EXPRESS our links go directly to the deal that we had researched, so if you click a link and it takes you to a purchase page, then it is for the same hotel... if the deal is no longer available you'll be given a message indicating that the deal is no longer available (or sometimes PRICELINE will give a message 'sometimes we move some things around and we can't find that page'... but basically if you are given a purchase page it is for the same hotel).

Hello I was about to book and came upon this:  

LINK TO EXPRESS DEAL

 

Can you confirm whether this is the even hotel NYC Times Square south?  If so how does it compare to the other options? 

 

I was about to book the omni but came upon this new one.

 

if it is even it looks good?  Excellent reviews?

[thereuare]

For this one:

4* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $203/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Airport Shuttle
Free Internet available
Free Internet
Fitness Center
==> i would agree that the Even Hotels New York Times Square South would be the best guess

 

You could also consider either of the following:

4.5* Madison Square Garden - Convention Area (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $208/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Free Internet available
Free Internet
Fitness Center
==> Crowne Plaza HY36 Midtown Manhattan

 

4.5* Empire State Building Area (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $239/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Free Internet available
Free Internet
==> Archer Hotel (appears to be no resort fee here, so all-in very similar to the ones above)

 

ANY of these would be an excellent choice, imo (really comes down to your preference for the hotel style/personality).

Happy Fourth of July-  where do I find winning bids-  it used to be on top of page.  I would put in a range of 2 weeks in the city I was intersted in and in would show the winning bids w Hotel name.   Looking for NYC Sat/Sun- upper east side, Mid town east or Rockefeller center  2 adults + 1 teen,  like to keep it under 200 including all fees.  Prefer Hilton or Marriot if possible LOL

uptowngirl,

That feature was not being used that much so we removed it from the navigation bar, but it's still available here: Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins
