Hotwire Hotel: 3* NYC (Chelsea-MSG) Holiday Inn Express MSG

[sbg]

We did see previous post re: Salisbury, but hotel is full that night. Any suggestions appreciated--we are flexible in terms of where we stay, but would probably prefer mid- or uptown. We are family of 5 with kids 23, 19 and 15 reuniting in NY. Thanks!

We are family of 5 with kids 23, 19 and 15..

While these may be, and will always be, your "kids", any hotel is going to view 2 out of 3 of them as adults :)

What is your budget for this trip? Are you willing to get 2 or 3 rooms?

I guess what I'm saying is that despite the kids' ages, we could do 2 queens and a cot in one room to save money. Happy to be in 2 rms if we could afford the place!

I was hoping we might be able to make it under $200 (incl.taxes). Does that seem crazy?

PRICELINE does not guarantee 2 beds, and this is particularly a big risk in NYC. Beyond that, many NYC hotel rooms - even in higher-end hotels - are so small that having more than 3-4 in the room may be an issue with city codes. Additionally, those counted as adults are going to add significant (especially in NYC) extra person fees. Beekman Tower and Salisbury are full; is your budget $200 per room or $200 "all in"?

"all in", ideally

When searching for 4 adults in one room, I do see a 3* in the Empire State Building area w/restaurant and internet for $196. Unfortunately, this property has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, and fitting 5 in a NYC hotel room is a definite risk, given what may be city code and/or hotel policy.

Rates are inflated for this nite since it's the Saturday before Valentine's Day (which falls on the following Sunday)... i think $200 all-in is going to be tough for these dates (unless you only declare double occuapancy... which i do NOT recommend in NYC)

Is staying outside of the city, in an area accessible by mass transportation, an option?

Congratulations on your success. :)

Good deal for NYC for this weekend, especially considering quad occupancy. Can you confirm the amenities that were showing with this HOTWIRE listing? Thanks.
