Just 1 night.)Room: 1 , 3 AdultsI searched on HOTWIRE, their results is the following.1) 3-star hotel in Midtown Central $162/night Amenities: Fitness center, Pool, Restaurant, Internet Access(I think this one is Holiday Inn Midtown?)2) 2.5-star hotel in Chelsea - Madison Square Garden Area $169/night Amenities: Complementary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Internet Access (I have no idea....)3) 3-star hotel in Chelsea - Madison Square Garden Area $179/nightAmenities: Complementary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Business Center, Internet Access(This one is Holiday Inn Express Madison Square Garden )If you suggest anything, let me know!Thank you :) Link to comment
slick_gd Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Welcome to the board!I'd agree with you that the 3* in Midtown looks to be the HI Midtown, and the 3* Chelsea looks to be the HI Express MSG.The 2.5* hasn't been reported to the board and HOTWIRE does not list a tripadvisor traveler review rating, but based on the amenity listing I would think the Hampton Inn may be a good bet. There are several other hotels in the area that could fit the 2.5* rating, but few of them have a fitness room.If you plan on reserving, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result.

thereuare Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you search Quickbook (please use this link) i think you have some more options than the above:Eastgate Tower for $169/nite... very good location and while not luxurious, it gets very good reviewsJust a little higher in price is the Desmond Tutu Center for $199/nite, which while a little off the beaten path (10-15 minute walk to the subway) it is in the meat packing district which has become a 'hot spot' with plenty of restaurant, bars, and shops, and the reviews have been excellent (and includes breakfast)They have a few others (such as The Hotel at Times Square which also gets good reviews but used to be a Super 8 so i'm not certain of the quality level) but i think the above are the better two of the offerings at this price point.Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Unfortunately, I didn't reserve this 2.5* this time. After I read replies, I checked back at HOTWIRE, 3-star hotel in Chelsea - Madison Square Garden Area $179/night dropped to $119 :) . So I reserved this. The result was as expected, Holiday Inn Express Madison Square Garden. Thank you for your help! :) Link to comment

But we needed a room for 3 guests. so I couldn't reserve these hotels.So I reserved 3-star hotel in Chelsea - Madison Square Garden Area as my reply to "slick_gd".I always go to SOHO area when I visit NY city, so We will go to your recommended area. It has been 7years? since I went there. I went to NY at early year of 911.Thank you so much :) ! Link to comment
