NY Hilton vs. Courtyard Midtown East???
 

Going to NYC with 3 girlfriends, and we'd like to share 1 room. We are willing to share 2 queen or king beds, but not doubles (we're not those kinds of girlfriends...ha ha! :-))
I called Hilton, Starwood & Marriott and have reserved a room at both of these hotels.

NY HILTON:
2 double beds (1 person each) + queen sleeper includes breakfast and is on a high floor. $299/night. We can also add a rollaway if 2 will not fit in the queen sleeper for $30. Anyone stayed here before in a room like this? I've never actually seen a queen sleeper in a hotel...they always end up as doubles.

COURTYARD MIDTOWN EAST:
King (2 people) + sleeper sofa + rollaway for $209.

I've never stayed at either property, so I'd love feedback. With 4 of us, we need a decent sized bathroom, so I'm curious about those, too. If you have thoughts on other hotels we can get for about $300/night or less - great. Would like to keep it in the 3 chains listed above, but am open to other options. Starwood didn't seem to have anything during a quick call with a less-than-stellar agent. But they are my top choice, since I have 1 free night I could use with them (therefore spending closer to $400/night at one of their properties).

Thanks!!!!!!

I'm lost with your math, but I'd suggest looking at affinia.com which is a group of all suite hotels. I think for $300/night or less you might be able to get a 2 bedroom suite!

My other thought is the Rhiga Royal is now a Marriott Hotel & also all suites. Also, have you checked the Hilton Times Square-a newer (and I think better) option than the NY Hilton. I'd ask about a suite. Have you considered 2 adjoining rooms so you get 2 baths? 4 women & 1 bathroom??? R U sure?

Was just reading another thread & was reminded the Westin Times Square is a Starwood property. Give them a try. Probably the nicest.

I'm with you mclaurie, totally lost with that math.

I would pick the larger room. Three people is just on the verge of being too crowded.

You should go to www.biddingfortravel.com and read about bidding on Priceline. The Courtyard by Marriott Midtown East is the only 2.5-star hotel that BFT lists for PL in MTE, and people usually win it for $65 or $75, so you could afford to bid for two rooms. When I stayed there, I was offered either a room with a king-size bed and a sofabed, OR two double (or maybe queen) size beds. The barthrooms were regular-sized, which is to say good-sized for New York!

Agree with Anonymous - we just returned from a one week stay at the Mariott Courtyard Midtown East - got it for $75 a night on Priceline. Just bid two rooms - the rooms are great - the staff is helpful - the location is good. You can request two beds in each room which would be a whole lot better than having a sleeper sofa and a rollaway.
