Priceline Hotel: 3.5* NYC (MTE) Roosevelt

[lei123]

Hello,

I'll be visiting NYC with my mother and would prefer to have 2 double beds rather than 1 bed. Should I not even bother with PRICELINE or HOTWIRE? I've always had great success with both. I'm just afraid that NYC has mainly 1 bed hotels rather than 2.

Thank you.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If 2 beds is a must so use HOTWIRE. You can search for 3 adults or 2 adults + 1 child to secure 2 beds. Please post your dates for the stay.

Thank you very much for your reply. We'll be staying September 26 - 29. I would like a 4 star at a minimum and open to whatever area except Time Square.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

NOTE: the "second bed" could be a pullout sofabed or rollaway brought into the room, but by searching for triple occupancy you do ensure separate sleeping accomodations.

MTE: with the caveat that the number of reviews is off a bit (we have seen this a few times before) best guess would be the Roosevelt

MTC: matches the Sheraton Manhattan so that would be my best guess

ESB: no guess

Many thanks for your response. Since I'm not too familiar with NYC, can you recommend which area would be best suited for us. Thanks again, Lei

Generally speaking, of the three above, the MTW zone property would probably work out best location-wise... it's near Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and near multiple subway lines to take you elsewhere in the city. However, neither of the hotels guessed above get the best of reviews, so go with an open mind if you proceed with either of the above.

Hello,

I'm going to NY with my mom from 9/25/-9/29. I need 2 beds and by reading on the forum, hotwire seemed to be the preferred choice. I selected 2 adults and 1 child. I know this is last minute and there isn't a whole lot of choices there.

I'm not too familiar with the New York area. We will mainly be doing the touristy stuff.

Can you please tell me which would be the better area (and hotel) to stay in? There is not a big price difference between the two.

Here are my options:

$217 3.5*

Hi there.

I actually went ahead and booked the Mid Town East 3.5* which happened to be the Roosevelt. Very happy with the hotel, just wish I booked earlier to save $$$. I used the HOTWIRE link on the site.

Thank you!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're happy with the results and this porperty will work for your needs. I often recommend to users in this area that they give Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) a try for breakfast... a short walk from this hotel and one of the best bagels in the city, makes for an inexpensive breakfast among local NYers.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

Perfect! Will give it a try. Many thanks!
