Manhattan Accomodations for 5- Any sweet Suites?
 
I'm planning put up my new in law's for 3 nights in Manhattan in March. (Mom, dad, twin sister, twin sister's boyfriend, and brother).<BR><BR>What's the best combination of rooms to satisfy them and not break the bank? I'd rather not get three rooms, but then again maybe that would be cheaper. <BR><BR>Wondering if any of you kind folks can recommend a reasonable hotel that would accomodate this combination of people, perhaps in a suite?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.

Three rooms on priceline.<BR><BR>Hotels with suites (not counting the super expensive); Manhatten East Suite Hotels, Embassy, Doubletree, Salisbury. The Manhattan East Suite Hotels have about nine different properties in Manhattan.

I guess it depends on who's (*ahem*) sleeping with whom. Depending on the ages of sister/sister's b/f,/ brother--did you mean for sister and b/f to share room/bed? or do the boyfriend and brother share room, maybe sister can share room (separate bed or sofabed)<BR>with parents? Or sister and b/f in one room, parents and brother in another?<BR><BR>Often 2 rooms can be cheaper than a comparable suite-epecially if you need 4 beds. A suite with 2 bedrooms plus another area is usually a pretty high end deal in NYC.<BR>You could bid on rooms on Priceline (some great deals to be had) BUT you'd pretty much have to bid on 3 rooms since with Priceline you're not sure which exact hotel you're getting, and you could easily be stuck with a room that cannot hold more than 2 people.<BR> <BR>Do you have a budget you're working with? Neighborhood you prefer?

NYer, couldn't you have just answered the question without going into a dissertation?

xxx, Matthew asked &quot;What's the best combination of rooms to satisfy them and not break the bank? I'd rather not get three rooms, but then again maybe that would be cheaper. &quot;.<BR> <BR>I was attemping to answer that, listing several possibilities.<BR>He (and you) should feel free to ignore my post if the information isn't helpful

NY'er, thanks for the effort.<BR><BR>i was thinking mom and dad share a room, sis (30) and boyfriend (34) share a room, and brother (26) at least gets his own corner.<BR><BR>if you folks have suggestions on short term apartment rentals, bring 'em on.<BR><BR>i do NOT want them to stay in times square, 8th ave, hey let's just go for gold and say midtown is OUT.

Matthew<BR>I have relied on the Manhattan East Suites, as a previous poster said,with various properties.IMHO, the best deal.Their w/s www.mesuite.com.I have no reason NOT to book with them.Good luck<BR>Jason

Most Manhattan East Suite hotels are on the east side. Contact them at (800) ME-SUITE

unfortunately manhattan east suites do not have 2-bedrooms, and i think it's too tight to put 5 people into a one bedroom.<BR><BR>

I've rented two bedroom accommodations from MES Hotels. The Surrey Hotel and The Shelburne Murray Hill.

Matthew<BR>Are you sure?? I know I saw a 2BR at the Lyden Gardens.However,in re reading what u said it might not be what u r looking for anywayz.<BR>J

The Manhattan East website does not show a two bedroom option on the reservation page, however if you look up info on the website for individual properties (Beekman, etc) there are floorplans that include 2 bedroom suites. I did notice that they put a 4 person limit on the rooms even with 2 bedrooms.<BR><BR>You might want to call them directly and talk about the situation!

We had eight girls in a two bedroom at the Shelburne Murray hill.

What about the Kimberly Suites, on Madison I think? Anyone stayed there?
