I just got a winning bid for $100 for next weekend ....I am alittle worried because I used biddingfortravel.com to help me and some of the reviews were alittle wishy-washy....one woman complained about room size (actually several) but it's Manhattan and room size is always an issue, right??? any thoughts on this hotel...how about location to things???

It's a big hotel, lots of groups, conventions meetings, etc. I live in NYC so I've never stayed there, but have been there for many functions. It's what you'd expect from a Hilton, gets lots of business travelers. I've heard the rooms are small, but most are in NYC. I think you'll be fine.
As for location, it's on Sixth Avenue at 54th street, right in mid-town. Very close to Rockefeller Center, 5th Avenue shopping, and not far from theatre district. Can easily get transportation to other areas, not far from subways. It's more of a commercial area in this section of midtown, but it's pretty centrally located. For that price, you shouldn't worry about it.

The location is excellent - right on 6th avenue within walking distance of times Square, Central Park Rockefeler Center and only a couple of blocks from the subway. This hotel is gigantic and is the standard business/convention Hilton with all the usual amenities. Just be aware that it is usually very crowded - and like most other hotels in Manhattan does not have the enormous rooms you find outside of the City.

For $100, you got an great bargain.

We've stayed there many times with Hotwire and it's always been just fine.

I've stayed at the Hilton many times -- my former employer's offices were right across the street. It is large, it's crowded and it isn't fancy, but it is quite serviceable and it's in a great location for getting around (IMHO). I did not find the rooms to be any smaller than other similar hotels (the Sheraton around the corner on 7th was not nearly as nice). Your price is great; I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you so much for your replies..I feel a little better...my husband I don't get away by ourselves and I want it to be nice...I'll let you know...thanks, amy

The location is the best feature of this hotel, everything else is just basic but having said that, it is still a deal for $100 a night - the rooms are clean and comfortable enough for that price.
